Hi s2ki, I have a question about the compliance bushing for the front left lca. The original bushing was torn so I had replaced them with the plain rubber hardrace bushing. The bolt was noticeably snug/tight in the original bushing. When I swapped out the bushing I put the bolt back in place and it easily slid in through the aftermarket bushing with some very little play, is this normal? When I drove the car there was some vibration in the location of the replaced bushing but I haven't narrowed it down yet if the bushing is the culprit but this vibration did not occur before the bushing was replaced. Could someone share their thoughts or personal experience, thank you in advance.

did you figure out what was going on ?

Car Analogy

Well, once the bolt it tightened, any play is not going to matter.

Maybe the vibes are due to stiffer rubber bushing?

Did you lube the bolt up with antiseize? The whole shaft, so it doesn't rust to the bushing? Highly recommend.

yea you're right I was overthinking

I did not firgure out exactly why and where the vibrations happened or from where whithin the car but i had the car realinged and I haven't had any problems since after that.

B serious

Was it loose because you forgot to install the outer sleeve for the bolt?
