Are there any options out there other than stock stuff? After trying to get that lower strut bolt out for a 2nd time with no success I think I am going to bite the bullet and just replace the LCA's seeing as I'd be replacing the bushings on my stock ones anyways. Old ones are 7 years old with 132K on them. Trying to get new half shafts in and I have to get that bolt out now, the only thing I can see is cutting and torching it out.
There is nothing on the market other than OEM replacement lower control arms for the front. What you need to do is use never seize on the bolts and you'll never have that issue again.

If only they did that in the factory...
OK I'm looking at Rock Auto LCA's and they have 3 different manufacturers in the same price range...Raybestos, Moog, Mevotech...any of them better than the others? I think I saw someone say they replaced factory bushings with Moog, would that make them better?
MOOG hands down!Originally Posted by XKLover

I got the mevotech ones after I bent mine, and would not recommend them.
I have a set of the Raybestos ones waiting to be put in. Seem pretty beefy.
