Parts Sourcing for Front Suspension Rebuild

I've don't need to "go under my car" to confirm that you're wrong, I've been under my car because I installed all of those parts. The LCA's do not slide backward on the pins. This is because my strut rods are the correct length, and the strut rods are what locate the LCA. That's how it works.

When an OEM bushing tears, the pivot pin flops around radially inside the LCA shell. That's why the car wanders, because the LCA is now moving all over the place. That is not at all what happens with a poly bushing. Properly installed, the LCA pivot is tight in the poly bushing which is tight in the outer bushing shell, so there's no radial slop like with a torn rubber bushing. If the poly bushing has been installed with proper length strut rods, it doesn't slide back either. So you get none of the problems of a failed rubber bushing, that's just not how it works.

For someone who talks horse **** yourself. I would like to know how your struts with a swivel , Fastened to the outside of the control arm prevents the inside of the control arm from moving front to back? And you talk about horse ****.

Take those torsion bars off and install coil overs and see how long your control arms stay in place with your swiveled strut rods holding the outer part of the arm only. The swivel takes away the triangulation of the engineered system. Why do you think guys are always looking for different style lower for coil overs ? because the bushings do not hold them in place without the torsion bars. The arm rely's on the torsion bar which has a built in 1/4" travel for wrap. Add poly's with lube and you make it worse. I always see you make up stories about how professionally your cars are built by you. Why ? because you bought and paid for junk and what ever is on your car has to be the best . No Compromise ever!

Now, Come back with a three page comment now because you won't have a professional answer to prove your ignorance. Only a put down and how "your" car is so perfect when you put "your" car on "your" alignment rack. Really?. If you own one roll-along tool box I'd be surprised. I picture you as being one of those professionals that carries a plastic box with an organized tool set from autozone. Or did you upgrade to metal. LOL
