Current thread on replacement of those bushings.

 

I just throw ES bushings in OEM LCA's. Works like **** in a can, and leaves money left over for tips at the gentlemen's club.

Seriously though, OEM is the smart choice. Either get ES poly (cheap) or HardRace rubber (less cheap), or dig deep and get a high-end arm. Plus that 4lbs is not noticable unless you are tracking the car and everything else has been shaved, removed, dimpled, acid-dipped, etc.

 

did you preload the suspension before torquing errythang down? gotta ask...
if so, then yes, they're crap.

i wish someone mass produced delrin bushing kits like ES does.

 

was just gonna ask that

 

Shouldn't be necessary to have to do that when the inner metal sleeve isn't bonded to the poly.

 

Those look like rubber so they would be bonded.

 

everybody know to change out the bushing in blox lca. but i didnt ran mine for a year no prob. but i changed mine out because i have access to a press and i knew they would go eventually. but h-t need to stop these kinds of threads. this is company bashing at its finest seriously. no matter what "blox is garbage" doesnt matter if they was installled wrong, doesnt matter if they was tq down to spec you dont know anything and for a big board like h-t to allow this is crazy. you brought $100 lca what did you expect for them to last forever?

like 95skunkedgsr said his sk2 bushing went bad, my buddies bc lca went bad in his dc5 **** happens bro but to bash a company because your lousy $100 lca bushing went bad doesnt mean to bash a company. next time just sit down and read ppl experience with them and 99.99% of the ppl i know change out the bushing

 

you buy the cheapest part possible then complain?

 

honestly mine never ripped but they were so soft i could take my strut by hand and torque it very far. it honestly ruined the spring rate on my suspension buy adding for extra travel in my opinion.

 

yes, most lcas bearings suck

the new skunk2 ones are supposed to be good though. the ones i bought feel harder than the older ones

 

blox lca bushings always do that.

you can use energy suspension bushings on them but you have to trim them a tiny bit
