FREE stock lower and upper control arms socal

I really like how this could end up...for everybody. I give most of take off OEM parts away anyway so I'm in on an exchange program!

 

Paying it forward is a great idea. I was planning to rebuild my LCAs soon as well and the reduced downtime is a plus.

 

I do the same if this is the route we go

 

Do you still have any of these LCAs. Any of them in better shape than the rest? I need to replace mine... Preferably with some that the bushes aren’t jacked up, mine are shot. I do have the replacement bushes as well to rebuild if ball joints are good, I can swap those too though. Would be great to just plug and play! Handy to be able to do it with out taking the rig down...
Willing to pick up and I could trade for my stock spindles that I just removed. Spindles off of my 2006 and have around 165,000 on them. Also willing to let go of my old ones...

 

Then after you finally get some let ME know so I can buy whatever old ones you have to reduce my downtime too hahahaha

 

@Slamuel @BandanaBerg I ended up getting Dorman LCA's and am planning on refurbishing my OEM LCA's. I've removed the OEM bushings and have installed front new ones. I don't want to give them up without getting a pair in return; so, if you live nearby, I'm willing to sell them to you as they will be ready to install. I have Proactive BJs but can install whichever you want on them.

 

How much are we talking here?
I’m willing to give up my old ones after replacement... are you willing to do a core refund or something like that? I also have the MOOG LCA bushings still in the boxes worth about $100...

 

Price of the bushings and BJ's. I have to dig out the LCA's - I stored them for a future project and it's been months since I've looked at them. I think I installed Mevotech bushings. The Moog bushings are not recommended; I can confirm they suck - my first set were Moogs and they pressed in too easily, which explains why many TW members have reported the bushings spinning in place after varying mileage. Some have tack-welded them in place.

 

would this cause clunking noises? I replaced 1 bushing with Moog

 

I don’t. I gave all of them away. I’ll buy the spindles from you if you’re interested in selling

 

Definitely interested... PM
I went ahead and ordered some LCAs. Figured best option.

 

Quite possibly; it's usually the rear bushings that go and it's the rear Moog bushing that has the shitty design.

Below is a side by side comparison between Moog (left) and Mevotech (right) rear bushings (larger of the two). The area above the markings is the only area of the bushing that makes contact with the LCA when press in. Not only does the Moog have less contact, but the center of that 1/2" is rounded, making even less contact.

In this thread is where I've read of members spinning their Moog bushings:

So, dont buy moog LCAs is the veredinct im guessing.
