    Hey All,

    Just installed Whiteline bushings into my LCAs and when putting everything back onto the truck, I ran into an issue on the passenger side installation. The LCA was very tight to put in, pressing on the inner sides of the tabs that stick out from the frame. After torquing everything down, one side of my smaller bushing (toward the front of the car) is compressed far more than I think it should be. Pictures are attached below with driver side for comparison.

    I feel like it has to be either my control arm is bent or the tabs attached to the frame are out of whack. Been racking my brain trying to figure out what my problem is though.

    Any help would be appreciated.

    Would have just gone new OEM lower control arms from the start. The originals lasted a decade or more. Why not put the same?

    Sorry I can't be of help, but looking at those I wouldn't run them at all.
