Pictures of my front end bushings. Need replacement? (1 Viewer)

Which do yall think need replacement?

Driver LCA

Passenger LCA

Sway Links

Sway Bar

LCA's done and replace the others while I'm down there? All of them look worn or some OK? Thanks in advance.

@Boston Mangler Your build thread got me to look at these closer. Thanks for posting all that. I've already got new UCAs and coilovers on the shelf to be installed so looks like a good time to get some of these done too.

Happy to help!

Hopefully this gets folks to look closer at important handling items Instead of constant hyper fixation over what fires and wheels they can fit

Curious, what’s your mileage?

Hah yep. Will do. Can't wait to feel the difference. I've got a blown Icon shock on the front and going to swap them with the Bilstein 6100 kit you mentioned in another thread, at least while I get the Icons rebuilt (if not permanently). Will be doing then LCA/UCA, coilovers, and those links all at the same time. Ordered from wheeleveryweekend.com too!

Lol. I like shiney new wheels and tires as much as the next guy. But I also love shiney new OEM parts like @TeCKis300 .

Also ordered the DrKDss shorty. I had the weld-on version sitting in the garage for awhile but haven't been able to link up with my buddy to get it done. That DrKdss looked nice and a 1 bannana.

She's a 2008 with 282k miles. I got her with about 265k. The service history was all at the dealer with no mention of replacement, so I reckon all of the suspension bits are original.

Man I read this a lot on here

It’s the same theme on literally every forum with every vehicle with Icons

They’re trash, always have been, always will be

How they’re still popular is beyond my comprehension

I personally know 3 different people that bought into the lemming marketing hype and had their shocks pissing oil within 20k
