Default 1LEfront lower control arm bushings
I’m considering moving to 1LE front lower control arms. From my research, I understand the front bushing is different. There’s never any mention if the rear bushing is also different-is it?

Any information would help.

Thanks!

Default Update
I've done a bunch more researching this. The forward bushing is the same as non-1LE. The rear (caster) bushing is different but will crack rather quickly. It may be best to NOT go to 1LE arms.

Why would you need 1LE control arms? It is just the bushing that is different, right? The arm itself is the same right?
