Default lca bushings... is there a cheaper way?

hello

right now i have the stock lca bushings. I want to upgrade and ive heard that poly/spherical combo are the best. However i cannot justify that kinda money for just bushings. Is there a cheap alternative that doesnt work bad?

thanks

Speed

I'd just replace them with tubular LCA's, they already have poly bushings in them as well. I believe a couple vendors have them on here for like 129 bucks for the set. Price just depends on what kind of ends and if they are adjustable etc...

I agree, and it' what I have in my car. A set of 1LE's are just over $50 for a set of 4, and eliminate the air gaps that allow bushing movement..... Just pop them in the stock arms and roll.

I just put in a set of Moog/1LE type rubber bushings. It was not so hard. You can do it without a press. I can link you to some removal/install directions if you want.
