I need a set of LCA bushings to offset my LCA's in as far as possible as my W's tires are rubbing on the LCA. I know Billingsley had these, but I can't seem to get a hold of them.

Anybody know of a company that has these in stock? I have use BMR LCA's with the solid rod ends.

Thanks.

wolfe racecraft uses them with their LCAs, not sure if they sell just the bushing but it would probably be worth calling. are you running 28x10.5Ws? that's a lot of tire...

Thanks. It's a lot of tire, but should be good for my new nitrous combo.

you should be able to hook up on a NON-W tire really but if you're setup for a W then it's always good to have a little more than you'll really need.

I'm gonna have to get some myself cause my 28x10.5 non W's are about a half inch away from rubbing and I plan to go with a 325/50 MT DR so I'm gonna need the offset lca's.. Hopefully that will be enough to squeeze the bitches in there...

the offsets from wolfe move the arm about .75"-1" inside. i'll measure mine in the morning and post exactly what the difference is.

I just put my sphoon adj rod end, LCA's on my car. And the have an offset spacer like what your after. It looks to be about 1" offset.

Are the bmr pieces tubular? I have the spohn tubular with rod ends adjustable and 315/60/15 et radials which are .4" wider then the 325/50/15 radial according to MT's website and don't have any issues with hitting my lcas.

Thanks, but I wasn't looking for tire info :eyes:

Back to the issue at hand - I called wolfe and SJM and it looks like they have what I need. Thanks guys.
