Hey fonque,
How did that LCA with solid-bushing job go?? Would you mind letting us know how much they cost? I'm thinking that I should get mine replaced while I'm doing everything else...


Looks like Powell Race Parts might be a great resource for some of our needs in upgrading suspension parts, eh?

Powell is great, but they ARE in Canada. Figure accordingly. They are great with answering questions, too. Fitment or other.

I was really impressed with the powell racing parts folks! Very helpful indeed - and it seems their LCAs are of very high quality. But at about $380 (per side) for the loaded LCA (aluminum, of course) with the special bushings installed, they are too pricey for my budget.
But I can certainly imagine that an upgrade for the LCA bushing could really be worth the investment (for those so inclined).
They will also sell just the bushings - not sure about the price on that (might be $199 per side).


Contact them for details. Sure wish I could afford 'em!

I actually attempted the install this weekend. The passenger side control arm went in fine, but the drivers side rear bushing bolt rusted solid to the collar. Once I get the drivers side arm installed, I still have to install ES sway bar bushings, ingalls sway bar end links, and my stance coilovers. No more suspension mods after that.
