LCA parts

[Fox2506]

Been looking for hours. Tired now. I'm finally making some decent money and now I can't find the parts I wanted to buy.

What happened to the LCA braces? I saw them at DCS 2010, so I hoped to grab some in Orlando. Nope, gone. Checked the site; link is removed.

At this point I'm just looking for the best upgrades for the LCA, upper and lowerball joints, bushings, and the elusive brace kit. My left LCA is pretty much trashed, btw.

Also wondering what happened to the SS frame and LCA production.

DPI has the braces. The SS frame and LCA's are out of production from what I understand.

We are out of the braces for a few more weeks. Lost a set in shipping recently thanks to ups as well...

Call Dave and Julie at DMC Midwest. They keep the control arm outriggers in stock.

I just got a set of the LCA braces from DMCMW. They also carry all the DMC Europe poly bushings for upper/lower control arms and the anti roll bar. All should be in stock currently. I went with full poly on the front but left the rear link bushings rubber. DMCNW also sells their own version of the anti roll bar bushings for mounting on the crumple tube and inside the LCA. I have read the poly they use is harder durometer than the DMC Europe version.

For lower ball joints I recommend the DMC Club UK developed parts, now sold at DMCH and the related vendors and also at DPI.

Upper ball joints are still available NOS from DMCH and related vendors...you don't seem to hear much about those going bad, but I ended up getting new ones for the hell of it since I had to remove the old ones for powder coating the UCA.

Let me know when they're in stock and I'll grab some. Aren't they around $350?

So any recommendation on LCA's? I'm looking at:

DeLorean Upgrade Parts: $850
Hervey rebuilds: $250 - $700
Hervey aluminum billet: discontinued?

DPI: $1000 (SS) - https://www.deloreanindustries.com/shop/parts/suspension-steering/5-1-0-front-suspension/31-lower-link.html

Edit: ok, I didn't see the last 2 posts before this one

DeLorean Upgrade Parts: $850 Yes

[Fox2506]

Not sure DPI and DMCH have the same ball joint...

DPI: $22
DMC: $90 !

Called DMCMW. Pointed me to DeLorean Upgrade Parts for the LCA.

Sounds like the dpi ball joint price may be incorrect on the website. The ones you want are the $90 ones. Read this thread for full details on the LBJ discussion.
