What LCA to go with?
Hey everyone. Just looking for a little bit of advice. I am basically a n00b when it comes to mechanics but i'll do my best to explain it.
I took the car to Firestone several months ago & they changed my oil, rotated tires, etc. and they said the front passenger side wheel had a ball joint with some play in it. I later brought the car in to a Ford dealership & they said there was nothing wrong. I was suspicious of them and took the car back to Firestone and they put it up on the stands and showed me exactly what they were talking about. The problem was very obvious, which made me pretty pissed that the stealership did nothing.
I may take it in to a different dealership for service or order a new set of LCAs (guy at Firestone said I would have to order new LCAs to fix the problem).
If I do go ahead and order the LCAs I am wanting to get everyones opinion on what to go with.

I recently purchased and installed the single adjustable LCA's from Stranoparts.com, they are easy to install, about 30 minutes with a torque wrench and a floor jack. The improved my launches and eliminated my wheel hop totally. price, quality and Sam Strano stands by them. You can't go wrong.
