Thanks for the heads up. I'll have to keep an eye on these. I assume you are running R-compounds? I'll add this to the arm frame mounts as things to keep a look out for.

 

Took a look under my car and both LCAs look symmetrical to each other, with neither bushing non-centered or showing any other signs of damage. Hmm... any idea what else could be causing my toe to drift out so quickly?

A-arm brackets look fine, too. I only run street tyres with some Ferodo brake pads.

I just had to replace the driver's side LCA due to this bushing rubber problem. The rubber was badly torn on the inside rear, top and bottom. A smaller crack was starting on the upper front which was visible when the wheel was off. In my case, it was 40,000 miles, 4 years and many autocrosses.

 

There will be an product soon from go fast lab, for the people not running in Stock class to address this.

 

Ummm... Hurry up and I promise to be a good customer.

 

Passenger side LCA is now starting to tear at 50,000 miles, 5 years of autoX.

 

So Ry, what ever came of this?

 

Wow great writeup, I was wondering if it was normal for my passenger side to get -1.3 camber and 6+ caster but my drivers side to only get max 5.5 caster with the camber at -1.3.

The bushing looked good at a quick glance but I may pull off the LCA and take a closer look. I know the more - camber you add the less adjustability in caster you have but I didn't understand why it was only happening on one side.

 

A blast from the past.
