    A little birdy told me they are going to get the Whiteline kit I have been hoping someone would experiment with.

    He said he's not going to post until it's all done so keep your fingers crossed that it goes smooth and we gain another option.

    :eek: ...I'm sure that's what I've got to look forward to :(

    All parts are here for this, but I'm still waiting on coilovers and UCA to arrive so I only have to rip it down once(hopefully!)

    I know 'someone' has the whiteline bushings in hand.... was talking to him last week.

    No clue if they will work or not yet.

    and they are the same as stock right? Shitty rubber no?

    they have a lifetime warranty? They have upgraded hardware? They have upgraded poly material?

    For an extra $100 I'd take the chance on never having to deal with this again.

    The real question is WTF is up with Moog and the greasable bolts?

    Once every 100k is no problem for me
    I has spares and can do both sides in about an hour


    And i will let you know how they hold up in a few years stay tuned

    As for moog they never get back to anyone
    Should be that hard to measure inner dia of there own bushings
    Just dont get it

    As for the rubber i haz no clue
    Looks allot better then the factory ones
    But i have no clue

    It won't. I think Scott was referring to the fact that if you grease the bolts they shouldn't seize. :notsure:

    No matter what you do the sleeve will seize in. He even if you had 316 stainless sleeves on the bushings I think the lca would eventually rust it in........prob wouldn't happen until our frames rusted in two but still happen.

    The majority, if not all of us in this thread, are replacing the LCA bushings due to bolts/sleeves seizing to the bushings (hence Moog's greaseable bolts) leaving us no choice but to cut the bolts and replace the bushings.

    The bushings are pressed into the LCA and do not need to be greased. If not for the seizing of bolts these bushings would likely not need to be replaced.

    BGR's method of removing & greasing the sleeves should be added to everyone's yearly maintenance schedule.
