Lower Control Arm
lca=LCA without the caps

Back on Topic... I installed Energy front LCA inserts and like the sharper handling front end. The front tire wear has improved because the tires wander much less when accelerating/braking.

The stock front and back suspensions have alot of rubbery give to them.

i just did all the prothane bushings to my car, and man what a difference. the car squeaks less and feels more sturdy.

i knew my front LCA bushings were shot. the front of my car suspension would feel like it was going to rip off every time i hit a good road imperfection or harsh railroad track...

the front LCAs and all the bushings for that matter have made a good difference for my car, i recommend them...
