I have a question about the LCA removal/install that I havenÂ’t found an answer to on this forum or through a google search.

I also had to cut the front bushing sleeves on both sides (4 cuts) to remove my 16 year old frozen rusty LCAs. They both stuck out on the front and the rear. (No issues with either rear bushing.)

My new, aftermarket (Detroit Axle brand?) LCAs came with the two ball joints and four bushings installed.

I am reusing my OEM alignment adjusting bolts/cams(?).

The front adjusting bolts are smaller in diameter than the new bushing sleeves.

Question: Can I buy sleeves, to replace the sleeves that I cut, for the front bushings so the bolts that go through the bushings fit more snugly? Right now, I think the front bushings will move around when I am driving. When adjusting the LCAs, the nuts turn a little before the LCAs move.

I donÂ’t want to go get an alignment and have them say there is free play in the front bushings. Before I replaced the LCAs, an alignment couldnÂ’t be done because all the adjusters were frozen stuck with rust.

I bought some aftermarket adjusting bolts that are larger diameter than OEM, but I couldnÂ’t figure out how to adjust them. It was easy to adjust the OEM adjusters. I may re-install the aftermarket bolts in the front bushings and try to adjust them again. I think they fit snugly, but I donÂ’t remember how snugly.

Thanks in advance!
