    Dude, theres literally multiple entire threads on here dedicated to removing the LCAs and none of them mention the difficulty of the cam adjuster. like I did google it and do research but the research led me to believe it was just gonna drop out once I had the bolts out which leads me to believe you came across the threads about the stuck Cam Adjuster after you started working on the truck or replaced your LCAs when your truck was fairly new. Maybe reply with some of that "Funniest member here" energy?

    I bought my truck with 143k miles, definitely expected some parts to give me issues. Did plenty of research before touching it, which lead me to buying cam bolts before even jacking the truck up. Behold, my bolts were rusted.. wonder how I knew that :notsure:.
    Maybe you were just not reading enough, dont know.

    And I'd love to give that funny energy but it's not easy when a new member gets on here and post some completely untrue stuff simply because they "couldn't find it" when researching. I've been working on cars for years, never once has something went perfectly and not given me some type of reason to say wtf.

    I cannot find the lower control arm bolts and bushing anywhere. Got the dang LCA off after sawing it out but didn’t realize the new arms are missing all the extra hardware. Anywhere good to order this from?

    I ended up buying it off rock auto. Did all the tie rods and cv axles too. First time doing those but was fairly easy with YouTube.
