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.

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