man sweller where were you when i did my swap, good info.

 

I forgot to write back because I had so much work to do in work(job ) and at home after truck was frustrating me for good 2 weeks... I was under it every single day/night to at least 10pm or even 12pm... I almost started to hate it but I could be done with it faster if I would just cut those old struts and bushings away... :S

Oh, do anybody know if is there like file vault where I could just maybe put plan of custom bushing?

 

Finally got my extended warranty company to replace my strut and lower control arm. It goes to shop next week. The lower control arm bolt is a pain in the a** to remove. I been listening to strut squeak for last 3 weeks. Talk about torture! I will be so happy when this is fixed. Is there anything you can do to make sure you can get bolt off next time need struts? Grease the bolt maybe? Seems crazy to me that you have to replace control arm everytime you need a new strut!

 

I'm happy for you, you have this covered under warranty
Yes, maybe grease them on non-threaded part which i didn't do, or just to decide you will be removing bolts every year and pray corrosion is not so bad like I decided I will do. Maybe I will apply grease in few months when I will be bored But My new bolts and bushings are not stock and bushing have nice round hole and not like stock where bushing inner hole was cut on upper part...
Speaking of corrosion... this winter really sucks, road companies are salting roads non stop and we have like 3-7°C I wish there would be roads covered with snow or at least warm enough so they wouldn't apply salt on road surface... :/

 

I think i might have found the bushing online..... This is it...
Control Arm Bushing - Offset - Front Susp
Part Number: NCP 2673738

 

To all those who are having trouble finding the lower control arm bushing for a 2006 ram 1500 4x4 standard cab relax, napa has then in stock the part number is2673738! Good luck!

 

Anti-seize is the best thing you can do to prevent corrosion between two pieces of raw steel.
