I'm getting a set of urethane lca bushings for sure. I was just wondering while I'm at it should I just go ahead and get a complete bushing kit and change them all? Who has the best deals on bushings? I found bushing sets at modern, but have had time issues in the past with them so any other suggestions would be much appreciated.

 

Might as well, LCA bushings are a PIA though. Just an FYI I've done a set before yuck. But get the whole kit, even though just the LCAs make a huge difference, and make sure you have an impact on hand.

 

I recently got the full prothane kit... Ended up just installing the end links and sway bar bushings, which actually tightened up the car some alone. I have the control arm bushings for sale because I don't want to deal with the install lol.

I bought my kit from turboneonstore for like 139, but just saw it at howell for like 99.

 

Thanks guys (and gals)! I shall check howells website.

 

you will need to have the stock lca bushings pressed out.

 

As far as the actual install goes, I have access to a lift, all the tools I need, and if need be a guy with near limitless suspension knowledge. Sometimes working at a dealership has it's advantages.............though very rarely

 

Definitely heed the use of the "special tools" and the hydraulic press. Conventional press cups don't fit our LCA bushings well at all, I'd know I've done it before. Remember to completely remove the LCA from the car in order to install them, and make sure the pivot point on the ball joint lines up perfectly with the bolt that goes through the knuckle...or you'll have more problems than you could ever imagine.

 

Thanks for the pre intallation info. It's ALWAYS better to know things about installs before hand as opposed to during or after.
