    I am new on here but I did a few extensive searches on here. All the searches I have done on here returned threads about replacing the whole UCA and not the bushings.
    Has anyone been able to find the bushings for the UCA's for sale?? I have the LCA bushings, but I cannot find anyone who sells the UCA bushings without buying the whole UCA.
    Anyone help I would appreciate it.

    Yep burn the old rubber top ones out. Clean the inside of the old sleeve really good with a small wire brush and some lacquer thinner. Slide the new poly bushings in.

    thanks guys. I saw that kit but I already have the whitelines for the LCA. Was trying to find UCA bushings without having to buy a set and just sit on the LCA bushings bc I already have the MOOG ones to do the lowers. Guess I will just return the moogs and eat shipping

    Honestly before you return those moogs make sure you can get the bushings set into the old ones. I know some people have had luck but I wasted, and I stress wasted, days of my life trying to get the Energy Suspension bushings into my LCAs. I still have them sitting in my garage and swore to always buy the fully assembled Moogs for the lowers. Takes no more than 10 mins for each arm with them.

    That's my 2cents on the topic. Take it for what it is. I'm not all that patient of a guy so maybe that had something to do with it.

    Good luck.

    Thanks for sharing. That's an awesome price compared to what I've been paying for them. ($30-$40 a pop) I'll be using them on the next truck I pick up for sure.

    Thanks guys. I think I'm going to stick with the moog and sit on the NRG lowers. If I don't like the moog I will swap for the NRG. Or maybe ebay them to someone who wants em cheap. I was trying to stay away from the poly so sticking with the moog means only the uppers will be poly.
