Rubber lca bushings are preferred(don't think poly is even available anymore).

"preferred" or accepted? And what about "delrin" LCA bushings?




Poly lcas failed miserabibly. Great idea, wore out too quickly, Don't know about delrin, it came out about the same time I built my front end. A little gunshy, rubber worked great for me, just don't tighten it before you get it on the ground. As far as handling, rubber below, Moog offset up top on stock lca's you're golden. Wish Moog made poly for the top, that would have worked very well, less movement.

I have the same Poly LCA bushing I put on in 1997. We looked at them last year when we put the Hotchkis TVS stuff on and Hotchkis said just reuse them. And there were poly LCA bushing in thier kit.

Now...I had a horrible time making the Mopar poly LCA bushings fit to "what I thought was right"

They did not want to press in by hand with a lot of force. I had to turn down the OD of the poly bushing and polished and enlarged the ID of the old rubber bushing casing.

I also polished the LCA pin shaft too. Then all of that was slather with that special snotty translucent poly bushing grease they give you. I actually bought a seperate mini container of that grease.

On the bushing fitting the shell, we honed the shell till the bushing fit snug. The hole in that shell is nowhere close to being round and the honing helped true up the hole.The lower arm pivots nice and free now.
