Best place to get upgraded LCA?

[pjmjr508]

On my phone leaving work now. I will take some pics & post.

Hmmm. Bent LCA. I'd love to see pictures of that!!! If that really is the issue, get them from rock auto like Matt said. That's where I got mine. I went with the pair that was a little more expensive but there really is no difference. I wasn't even aware that MOOG made LCAs for our vehicles.

per the est that the shop gave me for the replacement this is the part # 042-295 for the ball Joint & CA961B for the LCA

will post pics of the old when I go to replace them

That must have been quite a hit, they are cast too so I would expect it to fracture before it bent!

I'd be checking the mounts to the subframe as well, especially the rear of the lca.

When this happened I was on a rocky trail with tree stumps & while watching for rocks I must of missed the tree stump. When I hit it, it sent me backwards maybe 3 ft. So yes it was a pretty good hit.

I will post pics once I get them off the jeep

Ahhh, you drive like I do, all is clear! keen to see the pics, the lca is the only suspension component I haven't busted yet!

no videos, I wish I had some. I was driving. we had about 30 rigs running trails together. so no real time for spotters & taking videos or we would be all day on one trail. but if you want to get an idea of the trails I was on until I can post pics that I have from the weekend. look up Firebrake 5 & Rocky Uphill @TSF in OR.

well I replaced the LCAs on both sides lastnight what a PITA but its done & its dropped off to get it aligned today so it should be good. It was bent, I have pics to show.

Hey bro I did the same exact thing you did missed a rock hit it so hard it physically hurt. My tire was pushed back at least 1" as well. It was the ball joint that was messed up the lower one. So I replace my lower ball joint realigned it all is good. Mine or the shops biggest problem was my lca bolts are all chewed up LOL
