1st Gen Lunchtable Thread - General Discussion

He ain't doing anything

Truck will hopefully get fixed by it's new-to-be owner!

 

womp womp

 

I thought Moog was supposed to be junk now, or maybe that was just for ball joints.

 

LCA is just some steel, I really wouldn't worry about paying 3x for oem for them.

 

@Ozark_RegCab make the trip out here, bring the parts, we'll knock it out over some beer and pizza

 

Being new to the lunch table and trying to pin down the relationship dynamic between kwik speedy and ozark has been interesting to say the least lmao

 

I'll summarize

He speculates about everything

Beyond anything you'll ever encounter, and with him, nothing you say a thousand times over (even if you repeat yourself every day for more than a year) will ever sink in

 

The tires and driveshaft would probably be worn out by the time I got there

 

I think I paid $240 for my new OEM LCA's last year. Have the prices gone up that much already?

 

Not sure but I wasn't going to spend to much time looking for him. He has a google machine he can look for more cost effective.

 

I've heard good things about Total Chaos, but they don't come cheap..

 

you don't need that. A setup like that will cause you way more work than you can handle.

 

I thought you were trying to save money

 

No one here is every really angry, that's all you really need to know to get started haha

 

I know but the Total Chaos arms look tuff.

This is the best price I've found so far.

So just to be clear using cheep LCAs wouldn't affect the OEM lower ball joints I already have on there?

 

Personally I wouldn't be worried, but I am still running original oems so I'm no expert.
You can also just replace the bushings and keep your oems on too.

 

Ive heard the aftermarket lcas aren't as stout as the oem ones. Made it worth just replacing the bushings for me.

 

Well about that… I’ve seen Duralast and similar parts store brands have shot bushings after 10K miles.

 

Could just SAS cause you know..."while you're in there"
