LCA/UCA Bushings, etc...

Im going to replace the bushings, shafts, and balljoints of my stock LCA/UCA on my 85 truck. I was thinking of going with polyurethane bushings, but what is everyone replacing the bushings, shafts, and balljoints with? were are you ordering your parts from for a good quality product to repair these stock parts that will last?

Re: LCA/UCA Bushings, etc...

I just did my passenger side LCA/UCA with the prothane bushings (purchased from a vendor here) that reuse the original shells. Let me tell you, it is not for the faint of heart. Its really not that bad it just gets frustrating trying to seat the new bushings. I used a press and had the arm jump out of the press. I'll own that part of it that it was most likely the way I set the press up but its still scary. But the removal of the old bushings and Ball joints wasn't bad at all.
