Brock Samson Posted February 9, 2017 Share Posted February 9, 2017 Hi Folks- throwing some new LCA's (mainly for the new bushings, but also rust) on, and the vacation pics say to use all new bolts and self locking nuts- Just wondering if this is actually necessary. The Mevotech LCA's came with a single bolt and washer (I presume this is the vertical one through the crossmember). If so, where's the best place to find that hardware?

RumbleRumble Posted February 12, 2017 Share Posted February 12, 2017 Buy all the hardware for them at the dealer. I reused mine but wish I waited and got all new bolts. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, I decided patience is worth it especially given that my leggy spent a winter or two in the rust belt. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
