    So my bushings are shot, getting a lot of play in my wheel. I know dealer recommendation is to replace the control arms... not doing that. On a budget. I know you can special order the actual OEM bushings from Toyota as well, though the parts dept doesn't like to tell you that. I also know that there are a bunch of after market options available, which seems like the best bet... but which ones? I need durability as I do a great deal of off roading, so can pay more for that. I understand the replacement can be a bit tricky but Im having my personal mechanic do it, who asked if I can supply him with a youtube video. Who can help me out? Part numbers, links, etc. Thanks in advance!

    Your mechanic wants a youtube video on how to do the work? Alright.

    Go with OEM, there are greasable ones through moog but I am not sure if they worked the issues out or not.

    I'd get the greaseable moog cam bolts. They have worked there issues out so and seem to be going good. As far as bushing I have a set of ROCA LCA bushing siting in the shop waiting for me to install them next week. Iv heard a lot of people are having premature failure out of the moog LCA bushing. So I'd stay with oem right now.

    Edit: ROCA is a no go. They are to loose and will start shift around in the housing. I ended up tack welding them into place it solved that.

    Its not as bad as it sounds. I work at Subaru, he's a subaru specialist but has done all of the work on his pretty bad ass Land Cruiser. Id imagine inserting new bushings isnt something they do very often. I have been having trouble getting the right part numbers, happen to have them? Thanks for responding.
