    Has anyone used full LCA assemblies from Rock Auto?

    I was thinking of buying a set and replacing the bushings with Whiteline ones. Then I could just do a quick remove and replace of the LCA's when I get the chance. But, I wasn't sure if the quality of the LCA's Rockauto has would be satisfactory...

    I think in general most aftermarket LCAs are good, it's the bushings and then of course the ball joints that attach to them that are where you want to focus on the good stuff.

    Or tolerances aren't held tight enough compared to OEM........ There's way more going on than just a piece of metal.

    The only think bad I’ve heard about those kind of replacements are the bushings. I’m thinking about getting a pair and swapping to whiteline bushings myself.

    Spoke to the service manager. He said they will keep the truck for 4-6 weeks. Bummer. Also, they can install lifts for no extra labor depending on what kind of lift it is.

    Hell yeah, assuming the one job is worth quitting 2 over. Better pay and/or equal pay with better growth potential would make it worth it to me.

    I’m just worried about working with my school, it’s a government job so it wouldn’t be bad for the summer

    Usually most employers that knowingly hire a student will be willing to work with you around your school schedule, a government job can be really good for growth opportunity/experience and especially when it comes to the employment benefits.

    Right, but it’s a seasonal job, when students should be out of school but I’m committing education suicide and going through the summer
