lca ?'s
« on: February 26, 2014 - 10:34:52 PM »
72 cuda..has to much neg camber..pass. side is very noticeable...I have it at my friends shop...the cams are maxed out, so nothing to gain there..he's wondering if someone has installed a-body lca''s (which he thinks are longer than e-body lca)..is there a way we can tell what lca's are on the car now?...I have been told b and e body lca's are the same?..thanks!

I found the A-Body LCA to be 3/16 longer than E/B-Body's.
A-body on the left, e-body on the right , notice the shock mounting is slightly different. The shock hole is closer to the rivet on e-body . Also the A-Body sticks out where the lower ball joint stops contact the LCA , on the e-body the it is the opposite they are shaped in.  Check to be sure the LCA bushing are not worn too?

Np problem, glad to help! If you had A-Body LCA also the strut rod would be somewhat bound up if you had the stock bushings
