Someone should edit this.

I went by these numbers and had a clunk over bumps. So I looked up the torque specs from the SRT-4 Service Manual that came with my Stage 3, and it says,

160ft/lbs for the Rear

120ft/lbs for the Front

I retorqued them and the clunk is gone.

I had energy bushing before I bought the new designed LCAs. So now I cant get the new ones in because the metal sleve from the stock bushing is still in the control arm and I can figure how to get it out.

in this pic from the first page its gone because it was removed with the stock bushing.

They used an air hammer...but im not sure if thats gonna help me now. I've tried a press and that didnt work. Can i get some help here.

An air chisel or a press will still work..

Foot Pounds.

Yes that's alot. The rears are crazy to tighten. I thought the wrench was never going to "click".

Does anyone have pictures of the upgrades spacers that I can check out?

**quickshift** · 11-23-2008, 03:19 PM

you guys still have these?? how do they compare to the polyurethane ones?

fastcarz4life · 11-29-2008, 03:22 PM

How long should these last? Because i retourqued the bushings and now when its cold i get a very loud clunking and after driving it around for awhile it goes away! Do i need to lube them or something?

Do you have the earlier style Rage LCA bushings or the newer style with redesigned spacers?

fastcarz4life · 12-03-2008, 08:22 AM

I got them in april or march not sure when they were redesigned?
