    Anyone have experiences with the following:

    Moog
    Mevotech
    Dorman

    These all seem to be equivalent OEM replacements at about half the cost...

    Looks like they have the bushings and ball joints built it too. If anyone can chime in, I'd appreciate it. Thanks.

    whats your reason for replacing the LCA? AFAIK the lower ball joint and inner bushings can be replaced. Hell they even make kits for all the rubber bushings. for upper and lower.

    Cause replacement bushings and ball joints doesn't cost that much less than replacing whole one. And I can save the headache of pressing then in and out. I'll keep my OEM LCAs and install new bushings and ball joint at my leisure for future replacement.

    I just replaced mine with oem off a 2014 written off truck. My originals had the bushings seized to the alignment cams. Oem parts are crazy expensive. I got both lca's and all alignment hardware for $300. I don't know about the quality of aftermarket.
