I think my front lca bushings are going bad but im not sure... well atleast on the left side, because it feels like my shocks is bottoming out, but it feels more like the lca hitting something. Anywho, i figured they are old anyways, 10 years old, and i thought about replacing them with the energy suspension bushing kit for like 40 bucks since it will handle better and might fix the problem.

My only negative thoughts holding me back are.... how long of a life would these bushings have? Do they squeak like everyone says they do? how rough is the ride? Is it worth buying if i had to replace the bushings?

The problem with the lca hitting (or something else hitting im not sure) started right when i did my 5 lug conversion, its whenever i turn to the left and take a turn fairly hard or sometimes just take a normal left turn.

THANKS!!!

 

hmm

 

i don't know if this will help, but I just replaced my swaybar and endlink bushings on my tacoma with ES bushings. It made a pretty big difference and improved ride quality.

I was rushing on the install, and after I bolted everything back up i was really nervous that I didn't lube them up enough. I haven't heard any squeeks at all though. hope that helps.

 

thanks any input definately helps!

 

up.

 

how low is the car?

 

i believe its about 2.5" lowered from stock

 

it could quite possibly be the upper control arms hitting on the frame rails inside the fender. check that out and see whats up.
