    No I don't have them because they weren't invented 2 years ago when I replaced mine just like all the other options that are now available. I do know my personal friends (not on TW) have had issues with hollow bolts breaking on their rear shackles so you may want to keep your old bolts in your truck just in case.

    I also trust Moog and am one of the first guys to rebuild a LCA with their products - thus why your posting this in my thread :cool:

    Cut the boot and heat those fuckers up with a torch until they are red hot.

    Only way I could get mine to budge.

    Also freeze the new ones overnight before trying to install.

    I'm amazed they fit at all. No one I know has been able to use them. Heck Rich has my adapters in Texas right now so he could do his.

    I posted all this info to the OP & I want some pics of the bushings before you put them in so I can add them to.

    Can always return them. Heck you'd probably still save a ton of cash. Two guinea pigs is better than one :D

    I bought it all from Camelback online. It ended up being a hair under $300. And I really want to get this project done over the next week because it's my fall break. I'm probably loosing money but I really need to get the alignment fixed so I can get new tires. Utah winters are sometimes brutal. But next time for sure! With the salt they put on the roads in Utah it'll probably be just a couple years. Haha

    Edit: $300 for bushings, and all the camber hardware, not any of the ball joints.

    Return :D

    The same from Moog would run you $119.76.

    Savings of $180.24 not considering return fees and shipping.

    Rock auto ships super fast. When I order it's either at my door next day or the second day, but I'm near their hub :)

    Hmmm... Do you know if those cam bolts will fit in the stock bushings?

    I might wait then. I was planning on cutting mine out on Tuesday. If they do fit maybe I'll just cut what I need to and order the parts so when they come I can just throw them on and I'll find another car to drive in the mean time... :D

    Well, they have a 20% restocking fee, so assuming shipping costs $20, and I keep the bushings, I would get $68.27 back if I returned the camber hardware. So if I went the Moog route keeping OEM bushings I'd break even... Decisions, decisions...
