questions about lca bushing types
i have heard from many different sources the poly/poly on the lca is not good and causes suspension bind during corners. currently i have lakewood lca's with poly/poly and i love how my car handles. but if swapping bushings will make a difference then i am very willing to do it.
heres my questions, which end should the poly side be on?
do i have to rod end the other end?
can i use a solid aluminum spacer like the comp. engineering (jegs pn 247-3165)? or do they have to be rubber?
thanks-

Re: questions about lca bushing types
if you have a poly/spherical piece, the poly goes on the body to absord road noise, and the spherical end goes on the axle. the ones you buy have aluminum spacers on the rod end side to make up the space.

no they are solid aluminum bushings that will fit in my current control arms, they are not rod ended
