The lCA has plenty of material & it is real soft & very easy to drill. If you are not rebuilding everything you could pull the LCA & redrill it out dead straight on a drill press in 2 minutes. I would use the correct puller for this as opposed to a pickle fork & if you put your ride height back exactly to where it orig was you would not even have to realign it. live every 24 hour block of time like it's your last day on earth
