Anyone Have OEM Bushings for Control Arms (Front)?

[fjc8871]

I am trying to get my caster corrected. I currently have yellow bushings. Anyone have spare bushings or want to swap arms?

Options are go with caster plates or use the drop brackets I have in the garage with OEM bushings to save me some coin. I am currently at -1.3 Left and -1.2 Right.

Just out of curiosity what degree are the bushings yah got on the arms and what size lift? is t the 6" I saw the one time you drop by right after you got the rig?

I went with Landtank 2nd Gen Plates and they rock...!!

Hey Frank! Long time. I see you finished the transformation of your rig. Mine has transformed as well but not like yours I am no longer on a 5" lift. I lowered to 850J w/ 30mm spacer and 863 coils. I changed out my DC shaft as well when I re-geared to 4.88. I have been tinkering with my caster trying to get it as close to spec as possible. I have the OME yellow bushings (I believe they are 2*).

Thanks Joe and Rufino for the help yesterday. Swapped arms with Joe and added the drop brackets. Drives much better now. Rufino and Joe did the wrenching since my 18 month old is attached to my arms. Going to get it aligned and see what the caster readings are.

Hope it worked out for you Joe.

Thanks again fellas!

It was good to meet you, Bruno; and good to see you again, Ruffino. It was pretty easy wrenching (1 ), though I'm glad Ruffino was there to keep me from doing something wrong (like removing both arms at the same time!).

Bruno, I'm glad to hear your rig is driving better! Mine is, too, though I may have picked up a very slight shimmy in the steering wheel when braking. I re-checked my caster and I'm @ 0.0* on the LF, and -0.1* on the RF. I'll drive with these for a while, and continue to monitor for driveline issues. If all is okay, I may swap these yellows for the 3* blacks from Slee (already purchased). That should (theoretically, at least...) put me @ +1* on the LF and +0.9* on the RF. Still out of spec, but closer... I'd really rather not do plates and possibly need a DC shaft...
