Default RE: What is the difference between these two LCAs?

This is what happened to the bushings in the BMR LCAs I had bought this spring: These were the $139 ones...
Not sure what really caused it. I used the right grease. Supergrease from Prothane...
Maybe it was because I was still using the stock panhard bar? Caused more side to side movement than the bushings could handle?
Not a lot of mileage on them . The car just passed 3K miles.


I was installing a rear diff cover/girdle and luckily I noticed one of the bushings on the passenger side had a chunk missing.
The bushings at the front of the LCAs where they mount to the body were in rough shape.
The driver side was still intact but badly deformed. When I disconnected it from the axle it had a lot of side to side movement.

I replaced the LCAs with some SPOHN adjustable half poly, half rod end type. Also installed a new panhard bar.
Went with the rod end type to relieve any binding that may have been happening...
I'm surprised at how quiet they are.

A great post about suspension mods. Including LCA's and specific information about them.

Yes thats a good one I have it bookmarked, that being said I have read a lot of different threads on more than just the MF boards and have planned my mods based on all of the information Ive read not just 1 persons. I think alot of people actually run both adjustable.
