Lower control arm bushing, best choice?

Lower control arm bushing, best choice? - 07/26/20 11:07 PM

We're getting some slop in our lower arm causing a constant settling of one side.

Who make the best replacement? This on a 70 RT.

Thanks, Joe

LCA bushing won't cause settling...

I saw a reply from the Charger registry that pointed to the k frame.

Reinforced our 71 K frame so maybe need some is needed on the 70.

Going to take a look in the next day or so as the car is at my son's home.

I'll reply...thanks, Joe

Maybe the tube in the K for the lower arm has come undone at the weld, cracked, nut on the shaft loosened etc. Maybe even a dead T bar.

I'm thinking the former as we replaced the T bars.
Pretty sure they were tightened after they were replaced....we'll see.

Thanks, Joe

many junk bushings out there!!!! This was my recent experience. https://www.forabodiesonly.com/mopar/threads/lca-pin-loose-in-bushing.465142/

Based on my limited sample, seems like Proforged is the best of a bad bunch.

More likely the problem is the rear torsion bar anchor...
