Well first off i had to change my lcas b/c my wicked lcas had rubber bushings and they were sagging and failing basically.




So i got the new omni power lcas. Let me tell you first off they look great.

The problem is they are not compatible with BEAKS reinforcement kits. The bushings are to big and it hits the beaks kit. I had to shave off some of the bushings to make it fit.

* a tip for anyone who installs these. Use some type of lubricant to squeeze the lcas into their proper locations. Because the bushings are so big its a very tight squeeze. Im not complaining about that, b/c we all know its better that there is no play, but man it was a Bitch to put on.

Final product w/ Beaks kit. AND YES I know my sway bar is not attached.



FINAL NOTE* the sway bar bolts, which you have to buy, are M12-1.25X50MM i found that was a good length.

this requires a WARNING why? you seriously felt you needed to do that? your title is misleading and implies that there is some sort of neglagence on the manufactureres part, dont post some **** like that up unless thats the case, did they ever say it would fit with the beaks kit?

MiX

no but its advertised as a direct oem replacement, and oems work just fine with the beaks kit, and these are a popular item, and i know there a good handful of people that have the beaks kit, so giving a heads up.

thats definately something you should inform people about, but he was just saying that the title was misleading. its not really a defect in the product, more of an inconvient match of parts.

MiX

i never said it was a defect, nor in the title, its a problem. maybe not a problem to all but definitely a problem for me.

judging from the picture...it looks like a 92-95 model. but the point is that the product is slightly defective

UPDATE the threads on the sway bar connection were not tapped all the way through, i had to force the bolt through it, at least it was only a little bit.
