Installing Rear LCA's
 
Anyone have experience with them on the car?? Any different from the T-Top install guides I've seen?? Never done it before and I have a feeling I'll be doing it myself

they are the same...easy. make sure to tighten the bolts TIGHT and ONLY tighten them with the rear end loaded like on ramps or something...not with the rear hanging. Bolts to at least 100ft/lbs

thanks man. pretty painless and probably one of the best mods I've ever done! My rear end feels like a brandnew car with them

Hello, like the other poster had stated change the arms with the suspension loaded but only do one side at a time. We recommend torque the bolts to 80ft lbs. If you have any questions please give me a call.

I put the BMR lca's on myvert along with the panhard bar. very easy, and got rid of my squeaks and rattles from worn factory bushings.

I assume by this you mean only take off & replace one side at a time so nothing shifts?


To the OP yeah pretty easy job...

Yes thats exactly what i meant. You have alot less problems doing it that way. :thumb:

the only thing I'd add is to make sure you put grease on the bushings before installing. It's a tight fit and the grease will help get them in and line up the bolt holes.
