    that's just sad.

    they cranked on the tie rods and didn't touch the LCA cams AT ALL.

    Do you have stock UCA's?

    EDIT: I see you have Camburgs. go to a front end shop, eff the stealership!

    According to the link, they do.
    Most reviews seem to be for the FJ.
    They cross reference with the Whiteline bushings;
    $153 W53312 Front Control Arm Bushing, Black
    W53312(lower) & W53313(upper).
    For $78, I think I'll give them a shot.

    They do say it now...hmmm...

    Id go for it. Just know poly bushings like grease or they can get squeaky. I load them up during install.

    "One Set Will Cover the Left and Right Side
    Must Reuse All Metal Parts
    Lowers Must Reuse All Metal Parts"

    Does that mean on the bushing too? Like you have to reuse your rusted sleeve? Gonna read the instructions...

    Oh wait, looks like it includes upper bushings too. Wonder if you can skip em if you have aftermarket UCA's

    The energy suspension link split bolt just put up that you quoted. Looking at the instructions now. They just send the poly. You have to construct the bushing with the factory inner bolt insert, and outer washers.

    Which may be just fine, but looks like quite a bit more work.

    Check out the 2 page PDF instructions to check me. Looks like you reuse the lower inner tubes, and upper outer tubes. Upper inner tubes are supplied (really? Just happen to have that size laying around?)

    You know, even in their magazine ad I am looking at shows most of their bushings empty of metal. No bolt sleeves.
