Appreciate you sharing all these tales. I am hoping with all your experience you can tell me what the very best choice is for an FE5 rear bushing and if it’s exactly the same for FE1/3. Or do you have more “experimenting” to do?
You are correct, the hole in that arm was 2.365 inches, the FE5, FE1/3, the Moog K200792 and K201285 bushings all measure 2.357 inches
The replacement right side lca the hole measured 2.355. I believe that’s the problem!
The new bushing I installed yesterday fell out of the lca, and I had to press it into the new lca.
Thankfully there was no damage done to the new bushing.
Subsequently, there is still a clicking noise up front, I have changed the brake pads, brake anchor pins, sway bar end links and both cv axles and so that leaves bearing hubs! They’ll be here Tuesday.
I also change the oil and filter and lubed the ball joints, and swaybar end links.

Last Fall I needed a tow for about the second time in my life and almost forgot that my insurance covers towing. Working with their 800 number was a comical PITA and a lot of trouble for a 1-mile haul.

If you go back to one of my earlier posts I mentioned fuel smell... Something got the fuel line. What, I don't know, but it was worse than I thought.

My fuel line on the 2007, leaked pretty bad on our 2 year old concrete driveway, Sweetie was not happy with that, at least the BlackSwan only had the vapour line leaking fuel fumes, no fuel on the concrete. She still wasn’t happy!
Hopefully your fuel lines guy can fix it quickly and inexpensive as possible!
I did take a drive to the cemetery to water the flowers there, then came home, cut the lawn, watched the NASCAR race, then barbecued burgers for dinner.

It's all nylon line, not sure where it was leaking though.
My shop is fair in their pricing and do great work, but between the wires and the fuel leak this will be one of those "I didn't need that expense right now" moments.
