Thread: Another LCA post

Looking to order the parts and the bloody bolt kit is as much as the 2 bushes, do we have to replace the bolts or is that just for those heavy handed mechs that cut them off. I dont think we have much of an issue with rust as the poms do.

FGS just replace the arms!!! Every time you touch the front end you will need a wheel alignment, so factor that cost in too. Thee is a bloody good reason we replace whole assemblies every 95 to 100k intervals.... trying to save a few dollars isnt realy saving a few dollars IME

I was glad I replaced mine as the old ones were kinda crusty. I thought you were supposed to because of the high installation torque and bolt stretching, though I dont know whether that's really an issue.

From memory when I did my LCA treat bushes the parts came to $225. I used Lemforder hydro bushes.

Have the arms been changed previously? If not I agree with Justin. i should have changed my arms as the front bush, though not flogged out, was definitely well used.
