    Correct. Whiteline bushings come from Amazon. This list is just for the alignment hardware.

    double check your inventory on the Bushing Equipment. I ordered this kit ant it was missing the two larger diameter sleeves for the front cams. I took it up with Whiteline and they warrantied it out in 2 days. Great people to work with.

    Been running this for 4 days now, it's touchy, drives a helluva lot different than stock but it's a major upgrade in quality.

    I've had mine on a week now... truck wanders all over the freeway... pretty sure just bc everything except the rack bushings and uca's are brand new, that the truck wanders due to the rack bushings being toast...

    haven't had an issue one yet. Mine wanders but everything save the lower ball joint is new. She got jacked 2" in front so geometrics are little squirrely now. Main issue I've had is involuntary steer, she wants to compensate for every bump instead of riding straight. If I loose the wheel she'll track fine but you feel every reflector and if the road has a crown to it, she wants to follow.

    I'm attributing that to the bushing being a lot more sensitive to input than the OEM ones.

    P.S. I'm also running w/o swaybar.

    not yet...wasn't planning on replacing the Lower arm bushings but the other ones were fried. I twisted the front cam to adjust and it sheered right off so...had no choice in that matter. It may be a project later on down the road, right now I'm recovering from a front bumper, lift, lights, and hood lift purchase.

    Got me a pr of used LCAs to clean up, beef up and dress up with all new hardware, ball joints & the whiteline kit. Gonna swap LCAs, UCAs, tie-rod ends, hubs with new bearings, adj hardware & probably the rack bushings all at same time. Have everything except the whiteline kit, tie-rod ends & new LBJs on hand already..............

    If you do tie rod ends, you might as well do the inners also, getting just the outer off is very hard depending on how much rust you have. Also if one or both of the inners go bad, it'll ruin the outer attached to it.

    Just look up some DIYs here on it, it's pretty easy, just need new clamps/hose clamps for the steering rack boots.

    I used this "barbaric" tool to get the inners off and install the new ones:

    Great. And you can confirm the set on Amazon contains enough to do both arms?
