LCA Bushings

From what I see, the favorite around here for replacement LCA Bushings is Whiteline? I read in one thread about some concern that the Whiteline washers aren't "knurled" or serrated, so there is concern they might slip and lose alignment. Does anyone have any insight on that?

And is this the correct set?

whats up?


100ft lbs and its fine.

 

@Crom I believe can speak on this.

 

lol, are you just pointing out that that is the same set you ordered?

 

yeah, I purchased it and installed it my self. I beat the living shit out of my truck. 100ft lbs on moog alignment cam bolts.

my alignment only goes out in big hits..

 

Is it recommended to replace the cam bolts as well when doing the bushings?

 

Most likely your alignment cams are seized like the rest of us. I would stay OEM on the alignment cams though. @DrFunker what did crom have for an issue with the Whitelines?

 

more than likely yours will be seized, which you will have to destroy them to remove your LCA's. moog is $40, OEM is like $110 per side.

@EatSleepTacos had an issue too

 

I've had my LCA's off when I did my lift, about a year ago. Luckily it's a FL truck! I'm curious to hear what these issues are with the Whitelines though.

 

They're difficult to install and lube.

If you run the moog LCA hardware you can lube them, you just need to drill a hole in the whiteline sleeve pivot.

 

I think the washers were bending

 

Pair it with these.

Interesting. I might have to pick up a set of those. Too bad they aren't greasable.

 

No, but takes about 5 minutes to slide them out, throw some grease on them and put them back in. I have a different version, but same concept as those, and they're easy to maintain.

 

Great.

The video on Bison Off-road says to get an alignment BEFORE installing them. Does that make sense? Am I missing something?

 

The washers that are supplied with the bushing are too "soft" and do bend which will throw the alignment out slightly. Fastenal has harder ones, but unfortunately only in one of the sizes not both.

 

I have had Whitelines in OEM LCAs for a couple/three years now. They have been great.
The reason I put them in was because I put in the TC cam alignment tabs. OEM tabs suck balls!
