LCA bushings along with uppers

[metzican]

For those of you that have replaced your LCA bushings and the other parts that wear out in the arms and such. At what mileage did you do this?

And what parts did you put back in and how are they working???

 

[metzican]

I have not done this yet. I'm wondering at what miles I should start looking for this. With a big trip ahead I'm just trying to do as much pre maintenance as possible.

I'm about to do mine at 190000 miles as I am getting some clunking in the front. I'm just going to replace with the stock lower control arms. I can't complain about 190000 miles.

What do new LCA's run?

Last time I checked they were about $170 each. Newton Nissan has them for even cheaper. I bought mine used off of someone doing a Titan swap so they only have 30000 miles on them.

The bushings are worse then the ball joints. It's easier to buy all new control arms. The ball joints can be removed with a ball joint removal kit and a vice. The bushings take a hacksaw, a barrel of oil, a 3/4 ton truck, 3 torches and a plasma cutter. Haha
