    I installed White Line's on new LCA's last year with a press and according to instructions. All went smoothly with tips found on TW, torqued them to spec, had an alignment, retorqued to make sure all was good. Did about 10K miles with a lot of miles on gravel roads, riding at a decent speed :burnrubber:. Both poly bushings on the front ripped against the metal sleeve and UCA making them somewhat wobbly when lots of force was applied. I never heard of this happening before :notsure:
    I changed em back to stock and made sure to use plenty of antiseize on those bolts! No problems since. Forgot to take pics of the ripped/sliced poly bushings. Guess I'll have to do the yearly bolt lube maintenance :(

    Yeah, idk why you would ever change the bushings in new OEM arms. These white lines are to avoid having to buy new LCAs.

    Two years on and my LCA grease fittings are doing well.
    In retrospect, I don’t think I’d go with the poly bushings again, however, I did finally get a cordless grease gun, which has made this maintenance item a cake walk.

    Hate to bump an old thread, I’m in the middle of doing this install along with the zerk fittings. Curious why you’re not digging the poly bushings after putting some miles on them.
