Lower control arm bolts are seized, is it worth replacing them and the bushings for more caster?

Sorry, wasn’t too clear about that looking back up the page! They used OEM.

 

Not sure how much more caster you will get with TC uppers looks like more clearance is needed so probably a BFH and get that pinch weld etc to help clear.

 

Did they put anti seize on the cam bolts? So it doesn’t seize up again?

 

I wouldn't even take their word for it if they said they did. I would immediately remove the cam bolts (marking their orientation before removal) and grease them myself. Then take to an alignment shop for proper alignment. Money and time well spent in my opinion.

 

So the general consensus is to just cut out the old cam bolts and put in new OEM bolts with anti-seize vs going with the full Moog LCAs? Wondering what to do to save money and time since my factory can bolts are completely seized

 

When you cut through the alignment cams, you also cut through the control arm bushings. The choice is yours whether you install new bushings in the OEM control arms or buy new Moog lower control arms. People here will argue which is the best way to go.

 

Catch 'em early if you can fellas. A bit of preventative maintenance can save you the headache down the road.

Yep, headache being a huge bill if you have a shop do it for you.

 

I went with Moog loaded LCAs and new oem hardware/cams when I did mine.

Cutting out the old seized stuff is going to destroy the bushing plus the bolts are seized into them.

 

Any pics/video of the removal of the seized cams?

 

I searched around on here. There are a couple real good threads with info on here.

I just zipped everything off with a sawzall. Cut between each side of the bushing and frame tab, the LCAs will just fall out
