Rockauto LCA bushing don't fit!!

[bradstone]

I installed Bilstein 5100 on all four corners. Install went OK, nothing out of the ordinary. Problem came when I went for an alignment, the front camber adjust bolts on the LCA were seized to the bushing. I ordered bushings from Rockauto because I was being cheap, plus delivery was faster than Toyota. We get screwed in Canada, the OEM part is about $170 plus a week delivery time.

I received the bushings in 3 days, thats fast considering it had to come across the boarder. If anyone has tried to remove these bushings on a car in the rust belt knows it's a pain in the ... Got the old bushing out with a lot of choice words. That's when I fine out the replacement don't fit !!! They are too small !!
Now my 4runner is on jack stands waiting for OEM parts. I just ordered a new LCA with the bushing, $531 and 2 days wait.

Don't buy the front bushings part number 602 44098 from Rockauto. Hope this helps someone in the future. Next time go OEM is the lesson learned. I wish there was a polyurethane bushing set for the 5th gen.

i'm sure you could find a shop to make you some. i'ts not rocket science. Get enough people to bug Dirt King Fabrication and maybe they'd sell a bushing kit.

I have been looking for polyurethane bushings for my front LCA on my 5th gen. I checked with EnergySuspensionParts.com, and while they do not have a set specific to my vehicle, they do have an extensive set of Universal Polyurethane Bushings. So I may just 'mike-up' up what I need, and go this route.
