Omnipower offers a really nice LCA. the modular bushing and pin design allows upgrading and replacement with ease. they also only weigh 2.1 pounds each. (saves 4 pounds total weight). the bushings have a lifetime warranty as well. Bushings are 200% firmer than stock. Adjustable sway bar mounting and also ABS brake line mounting are standard.

picture shown with optional titanium bolt kit that saves an additional 1/2 pound.

You can also get Function7s, which are stronger, offer the same warranty (if not better), and even look better...And Omni and Skunk2 just copied their design, so you KNOW its good!



No need for special bolts with our kit, you can use the stock bolts.

What about delrin? People have been replacing OEM bushings with it for classes that specifically state "no additional metal in replacement bushings" for some time now.

Delrin would be too stiff for the rear LCA bushings. Since they do twist a tad bit, you do require movement on more than one axis. Delrin would be OK for the front LCAs, however, as well as the front upper control arms.

These discussion about super hard bushings in the rear are covered in many topics around here, and mainly center around the Poly bushing debate, and tied to the rear trailing arm bushing.
