DIY LCA Bushing Replacement 2005+ Tacoma (4x4)

Well hopefully my situation isn't the same as yours. I just ordered greasable bolts and bushings from Rockauto. I ordered the rear bolts from the dealer. All should be here by Wednesday.

 

St3ve let us know how it goes.

 

yes, with some part numbers and pictures so I can adjust the OP. The other guy has me so confused I have no idea whats going on

 

I sent an email to Moog corporate on Friday after reading this thread, since I was curious. I got a phone call this morning from Robert at Federal Mogul who said that his research shows that the Moog kit is SUPPOSED to be for a single control arm. (meaning the two bolts were supposed to be one front and one rear) When I told him what everyone was having trouble with he said he would have to check into it since he does not oversee R&D or product application. He told me give him until Friday to see if he can find an answer. That is what I have found out so far.

 

LOL so funny. Poor Scott.

On another note there is always whitelines kit no one has tried

Snicker

 

Too funny, but I would like an exact explanation of these bolts application. In prepping my truck for sale I wanted to replace the seized front bushings so I could do a proper alignment. the vendor I get the hub parts from told me about the moog bolts (which I knew Scott was going to attempt installing). The vendor told me they were listed as "driver or passenger lower control arm "front bushing only" bolts. This is how they are listed in his system.

 

Another thing to add to the to-do list.

 

I just read this entire thread from start to finish. I want to grease the bolts before they seize (praying they're not already). Also curious about the greasable bolt and the whitelines.

 

Looks to be they give you front and rear bolts per box. I just took the bolts under the truck and they look to be the exact ones on the truck.

 

And BOTH bolts are greasable.

And I am looking at the diagram. Looks like one bolt should have two 3's and the other should have a 2 and a 4??

 

I already like the way your laying this out. What pn's did you order?

 

Can't see great on my phone but looks like that's not what you got...?...


Nothing to do with you but after a decade of production these aftermarket parts suppliers need to step it up. I gave up on yota fixing the issues. They just want to sell you brand New lca's every couple years.

 

(2). MOOG

$34 K100128 Alignment Caster/Camber Kit for Toyota Tacoma

K100128

 

That's kinda what I got. Just not in that order. I think I should be able to switch the adjustment washers....??

 

Steve, you're right! Either the printed illustration in the documentation is wrong or the part came assembled wrong.

 

This.

I'd contact Rock auto and Moog. Send them the pics and ask them. What to do. I'd also ask them what way they should face. Part numbers in towards the lca or out so you can read them.

 

it shouldnt be that hard as they make the bushing as well

the problem is not with the bushing as stated earlier
the bushings work fine problem is the bolts for said rear are to wide...."dia"

there is no difference in innner dia from moog to oem bushings
as stated earlier problem is outer dia. of said bolts

this....but you would need 2 sets of bolts to get one set to do the fronts....
as the front n rear adjusters are of different size as stated earlier

yes you can
you will notice cam adjuster #3 are smaller dia then 2 and 4

 

That's what I was thinking. It was just tough to compare the size of the washers to the ones one the truck. Thank you!

 

Yea i didn't realize that until i went to install them yesterday

 

So you switch the washers to match the diagram? Are they removable? Do they match up with the washers on the truck?
