LCA Bushing time

Done most of the research and ready to pull the trigger. One last question...

I've opted to do bushings as opposed to the entire LCA, how many of you guys bought new hardware? Bolts, Cam Adjusters, and Adjustment Plates?

I've looked and mine seem totally fine with absolutely no rust. Also get alignments every 6 months and never a complaint from the shop guys.

 

If they look clean and have been moved often I wouldn’t buy new. Looks like you live down south as well? So hopefully no salt problems. Even after 4 years of salty roads and 13 years of being in Alabama mine were still fine.

 

Sweet! That was what I was thinking. There's nothing like validation when you're running through one of these repairs. I hope I can get these bushings out w/o too much trouble. I was going to get the whole LCA from toyota and save some hassle, but part of me enjoys a challenge, and mostly saving $200.

 

Are you using the whiteline bushings?

No, I try to use Toyota stuff when I can. At $50 a bushing, it's not too much. Also, I think I had the bushing's done before (been a while) and used some from Wheelers Offroad. I think they were the energy suspension ones.
