tubular LCA bushing?

I've had the umi lower control arms with poly ends for over 5 years now.. love them but I noticed the bushing on the driver side was cracked and a chunk came off... so I need new ones. a bunch of companys say they use energy suspension bushing but I cant find the part number.. anyone know it?

Re: tubular LCA bushing?

if its from emergy suspension, it would be a universal sized bushing, you would have to get dimensions and go from there.

or possibly call UMI and order replacements?

Re: tubular LCA bushing?

I had searched the boards but no luck.. I figured someone has replaced them in the past and there would be a part # floating around to throw into summit racing and order them, but that would be to easy...

Your right though, I just checked the energy suspension pdf catalog and they show them as universal but theres a few different ones I don't know the measurements..

Ill save myself some trouble and call umi tomorrow..
Thanks

Re: tubular LCA bushing?

I know its been a long time, but others may be looking too, like I've been. I'm searching for the same thing but for Lakewood LCA's.

This may be what you are looking for if your old bushings are stamped with 2142 on the inside...

Control Arm Bushing 2142 - UMI Performance Inc.
