Idk haha. No idea lol

 

Hey Kevin welcome to Mass. I am sure the time is coming to have another meet pretty soon so keep a watch

 

You need to get out more lol. I was out yesterday and seemed like every other vehicle was a Taco. Most of them stock though.

 

Yeah there a lot of tacos out in mass. I feel like this week has been taco heaven lol. Seen so many out there but only a small handful are modded.

 

How about we have an end of the summer cook out type thing?

 

I'm in depending on location and date.

 

I'm hosting at someone else's place . We have too many Mosquitos and not enough space at my house

 

end of summer my azz

 

Don't worry... it'll take us 2 months to set it up

 

Sounds about right to me

 

Make it 3

 

Anyone wanna make a few bucks. My lower control arm bushings need to be replaced . I think only the passenger side cause the noise is coming back and the shop said they had to be replaced. Anyone know how to do them? If not gotta do the dealer. Thanks.

 

Damn... better make it a Fall cook out!

 

Seriously dude?! It's one bolt. That's it! One bolt.

 

Hurrah!!!

 

Oooh boy... The bushing replacement is a PITA. You can get the whole LCA with new bushings and ball joints for a couple hundred per side assuming you can re-use the hardware. The LCA swap isn't bad, replacing the bushings takes a bit of work.

 

How much money?

 

Really one bolt!!!!! No way. Pugg did his a few months ago and he had a pain in the ass I think?

 

I have no idea. The bushings are 70 each if I remember right?. I would only need 1 since I'm doing the passenger side. Idk If I need anything else for it or just the damm bushing. I'm gonna say 140 I'll give you. Idk if that's too short on money. I think dealer wants 230 to install

 

Here's the thing, you need to figure out if the bolts are rusted on the inside of the bushings. If they're not, then just the bushing replacement takes a bit of pursuasion and requires a press to push the bushing in place (and possibly to push them out if you're lucky). If everything is rusted together, you need to buy new bolts and cut the old ones to get the LCA out. If you have to cut the bolts out, you need to replace both bushings and bolts on that side.
