LCA Bushings - Urethane or stock?

Me the other day: sweet its not my suspension making noise and it’s a cheap aftermarket bushing solution

Me after reading this:

 

If anyone wants to try putting 3rd gen bushings into 2nd gen LCAs, Ive got 2 bare sets of LCAs ready to be shipped

It will not work, I guarantee it. The bushings are a couple mm bigger on 3rd gens. Trust me, I learned the hard way.

 

For those who may be wondering where this ended up, I have learned that torquing the LCA cam bolts at full droop is a really bad idea. Apparently mechanic 101, but I learned the hard way (like everything else). Even the new Toyota bushings I put in are now torn up.. I have since installed Fox Factory 2.5 DSC coilovers, and next move is Dirt King LCA's. Throwing money at problems is my favorite approach, and this should be the end-all-be-all. Dirt King LCA's have a bushing that rotates freely and thus can be torqued at full droop. They also have a sick drop-in LBJ setup that comes from a mid-range truck (think Freighliner M2). Total sickness.

 

I would stick with stock. I ran poly suspension bushings and motor mounts in my auto-x toy and it is pretty brutal and too harsh for daily driving. You're going to feel every single little bump.

If you wear out a stock one if you can even do that its not THAT big of deal to replace them.

 

Replacing them was relatively easy, just don't fuck up like me.. Torque the cam bolts after you set the vehicle back down on the ground!

 

I think total chais is pictured below.. also what I got

Same goes for leaf spring bolts
