    Does anyone know if the moog LCA bushings are any good? Amazon has them for $15 a piece with 4.8 out of 5 stars. And are both bushings the same size?

    I replaced my LCA bushings with MOOG a few years ago and I would 100% NOT do it again.

    If you look at stock bushings, the rubber that connects the inner sleeve to the outer sleeve is positioned at 12 and 6 o'clock. making the bushing connected at 2 spots and able to have lots of flex and articulation about the pivot axis. Low NVH and smooth articulation

    MOOG bushings are essentially solid rubber all around from what I can tell and they ride MUCH harsher than stock did. MUCH more rubber resisting the motion of the arm in compression and extension.
    I'm actually buying OEM arms and bushings very soon to replace mine because I'm very unhappy with the ride of the MOOGs.

    Thank you! I’m not 100% sure I need them but if I did I’d like to buy just bushing because my ball joint looks fine. I have TRQ lower control assembly right now.
