lower control arm bushing
« on: August 20, 2015 - 12:19:00 PM »
So I'm going to replace my old urethane LCA bushings with Moog factory style bushings. i bought them from summit last year and just now realized one bushing is not centered. Will this affect the alignment or should I just buy another one. I'm not impressed with the quality.

That doesn't look like an OE style bushing.... This is what an OE bushing looks like..

It's a moog k791 the pic is from the end. The hole is not only off center but it's at an angle. Hard to see it the photo

Then I'd get another one... That sucks, I've had pretty good luck with MOOG as far as quality.... Looks like thats changing...

Moog, like most of the good old American companies, probably now made in China. Seems everything I purchase, made in China, has a flaw.  :swear:
