    Mine came from Moog exactly the same. But I had already ordered factory rear setup; it's stupid to have to order 2 of these kits to only use the fronts.

    Did you order new bushings? The Moog bolts don't even fit through the rear bushings, completely wrong! The factory bolt/cam setup fits fine in new rear bushings. Frustrated!

    Can anyone confirm ID of front and rear bushings are supposed to be different?

    2 & 4 are different diameters as well. Not sure what the F'k to use atthis point. Might end up putting new factory (seizing) crap back in if I can'tget this solved soon.

    Still haven't received a call back from Federal-Mogul. Looks like according to the diagram a set SHOULD fit one side, front and rear. Obviously there is a problem. Perhaps Moog didn't realize that the rear bolts on the LCA are a different diameter?

    If none of these guys can (I've been asking them to check) I can try and see if I saved the old crap I took off the truck years ago and throw a mic on it.

    and there is nothing wrong with the factory set up as long as you grease them
    my truck has seen the worst conditions you can imagine on a regular basis and they came out like butter well over a year after i had greased them last
    just a fyi

    Here is my contribution to this thread a nice clear factory diagram:

    lca1_373d01f51e1eff874297df5100adff71c88628ce.jpg

    I think your right based on the diagram I've included. So I have questions! I want to grease the front and rear bolts provided they are not frozen in place.

    What exactly are the steps I need to do in order to accomplish this?

    Did you order two sets of bolts? How much were they? I may have my shop buy them for investigation and testing.

    Yes. Ordered 2 sets from Rockauto/ Moog. Also from the dealership. I did it this way because of the controversy with Moog. But I really want the greasable fittings.

    I'd jack the front up.

    Remove tire.

    Disconnect the lower shock mount.

    Mark the cams in two locations.

    Remove, clean, and grease one cam bolt/bushing at a time.

    Reinstall.

    That still leaves the question of which Cams to use (IE: 826-2 826-3,826-4)in what location? Assuming one was to order 2 kits just to get grease ablefronts out of the deal. As thepreassembled and the diagram provided are different...

    And you used the greaseable Moogs up front? If so, which cams(by number) did you use in which location?

    Nope, sorry I meant I switched out all of my hardware because the sleeves on the front seized and I figured I'd just change everything while I had the LCA off. I went with OEM because I got my parts before I realized that there were greasable parts. I can measure the OEM cams if you guys want and maybe whoever already has them can measure what size the cams are for the MOOG parts
