Any interest in having SS sleeves made for LCA's ??

Have some questions about how to achive better handling and stopping power using different springs, upgrading to coilovers, questions on swaybars, bushings, different rotors, pads, ect... Having any steering problems or questions about steering racks, tie rods, tie rod ends, ect... ask these questions here.

Would you buy SS sleeves for LCAs if they're available?

not having to re-use the steel sleeve for the vertical lca bushing, would be great. Save buying a brand new set and burning the rubber off, just to get the steel sleeve inside, that you have to reuse with prothane's.

I really like the idea of SS sleeves and i hate squeaky urethane. For all the hassle though... zerks and fresh grease FTW

Note that zerk is offset to oneside to better matchup with the cutout in the K frame.

Whatever grease is in the gun at the moment will work for urethane. Thats probably Mobil 1 or Valvoline, I was doing bearings on my cuda the last time and it looks like a hightemp synthetic.
