    Hey Dudes,

    My buddy Sean and I replaced LCA bushings for another Bro we met on the forum. We replaced the OEM bushings on his 3rd Gen 4runner with Whiteline Polyurethane ones. It should be similar for the 1st Gen Tacomas so hopefully you Dudes will find it useful as well.

    Here's the video and Enjoy the Show!

    Very cool, thanks. I was just reading about this on BajaTaco about this and they said it was too much trouble to change the bushing, that they just changed out the whole arm which seemed wasteful to me.

    The bottle jack and torch method is really good. The dudes who thought that up are smart.

    Are there lots of douches like @gottaToy on Tacoma World? Hmmm, how do you treat a member sharing helpful repair videos? I know, insult him for using the word "Bro".

    I just ignore questionable or obvious "barbs".

    Most of the time.

    Sometimes if I'm in a grumpy mood I'll fly a zinger myself, then regret it the next day. :(

    Thanks for the post. I bookmarked this for when I get around to replacing these things
