    Lower Control Arm (LCA) Exchange Program

    I replaced my LCA's this year and have my stock ones. Plans are to replace the balljoint/bushings on my OEM arms if I ever need to swap them again.

    Figured it would help other members to do the same. It's very simple:

    1) You need to replace your LCA(s) but don't want to spend $$$ for a factory arm?
    2) You want an arm that can be swapped in quickly, reducing vehicle down-time?
    3) Take my OEM arms
    4) Purchase new [quality] joints/bushings
    5) Install new joints/bushings in arms
    6) Swap "refreshed" LCA's into your XK/WK
    7) Return your old OEM arms to me

    Figured I'd throw the offer out there. I know there's a lot of guys relatively local to me. Also there's probably members all over the country with stock control arms sitting in their garage; so im sure the concept could be expanded. If you have stock arms, or need some, post up

    This was mine

    Granted when I did this I also bent 3 of my stock chrome clad rims as well. Was playing in an over sized rock garden @ TSF in OR.
