    LCA Brackets

    Yone who has installed the LCA braces have the issue of the rearward bracket at the frame side, sliding on its bushing? Both of mine are doing it. They still seem solid, and the car still feels responsive. I just got under to inspect it after putting some miles on it to be sure the bolts were still torqued. It's only the rearward ones at the control arm pivot. The bracket slid in ward on its bushing. I can pry it back out, but it doesn't last.

    I had that on mine on one side (driver's side).
    Ed Uding corrected that by using a thicker washer on the inner side (has been deformed a bit)
    He also corrected the angle (curve) of the brace slightly.

    Contact Ed to get the proper advice.
