You can either order new bushings from Blox or do what I did... switch back to the oem lca's. That way, you don't have to deal with buying endlinks for your sway bar since most of the crappy lca's don't have their sway bar holes drilled at the corect height..

Also, I took the es bushings and lined it up with the Blox lca's and it seems the es bushings are about 1 cm longer for the bushing holes in the Blox lca so I don't think the es bushings will fit inside the Blox.. hope this helps..

Those ES bushings will probably be shot in a year or 2 as well.

OEM or hard rubber for street use. Anything else is sub-par.

I had ES bushings on my LCA for 8 years. Need to change them now. Tons of track miles on them.

poly is pretty easy to cut. if it's a length issue you should be able to trim the inside of the two pieces that side together

Best thing to do is get the OEM lca bushing for the eg and replace them with the shot one of the BLOX. That's what I did with mine and it works perfectly without any problem. Had it on for about a year now without and rip or wear on it. Best thing to do is replace with OEM bushing. Fits perfectly.

Hmm those pics made me think twice about reusing my Blox lcas.

1.5Slowmatic - what bushing did you use and what car are the Blox lcas for?

How do the prothane outers fit? Did you have to trim them down?
