changing LCA bushings

Post by boxcarfan » Sun Sep 07, 2008 12:52 pm

how many of you guys have went ahead and changed out the ball joints when replacing the LCA bushings? or discovered that the ball joints were bad and had to replace them?

thanks!

I changed out the LCAs and my ball joints were fine at 90k. As long as they are lubed and not clunking you should be good.
