I picked up a pair of rectangular tube steel LCA's at a swap meet today. They have poly bushings and are plated in that gold zinc corrosion resistant plating. The guy didn't know what they were so, he sold them to me for $4.00 for the pair. He had some other 4th gen stuff, so they probably came off of it. I measured them between the centers of the bolt holes to be 15 7/8 ". I don't have my car with me, otherwise I'd go look myself. These things look like they've barely been used. Also, they have the number 1335 stamped towards the end, but there are no other markings. Does anybody know what kind these are? I tried to attach a pic, but it said my attachment was too big, and wouldn't let me post, and I don't know how to make the file size any smaller. The picture isn't that big.

19 7/16'' - center of bolt holes, got my spohn LCA sittin right here NOT INSTALLED BECAUSE OF THE STUPID SNOW!! (and weird enough a tape measure) But anyway hope it helps.

 

hey eric, where are you at in nebraska? and did you go to the meet at the fair grounds?

Well that sucks, I can't believe these wouldn't be long enough. Are yours adjustable or anything that the ends might be cranked out a little longer? They look like the LCA's for our cars. I didn't know there were other cars that used them that looked identical to ours. It's not like I'm out any money, just the excitement of thinking these would've fit. Anyway, how do you take the bushings apart on the ends?

eric, check out the post in the midwest board about ameet in demoines iowa. I"m just trying to get the word out

Does anybody have any idea what these might be off of? They really do look just like the ones for our cars, but they are apparently 3 9/16" shorter. Also, how do I get the bushings out, as I might be able to use them in my stock LCA's? i wish I could get the picture to post, buy I can't.

 

Im not positive but they might be rear LCA's for a mustang.

 

I just looked up the lengths for the Mustang ones, and they're longer than these, too. They aren't homemade; they appear to be mass produced for something. Oh well, they don't fit my car. I just thought if I could figure out what they were for, somebody else could probably use them.

 

Absolutely cannot be Mustang LCA's. They have spring perches on them.
