So I am giong to finally replace both front LCAs on my 2012 is250 RWD. Sorry for the stupid question but I just want to make sure....Do the two products below come with the bushings as well? Is there anything else I am going to need to order to go along with this part when replacing the front LCAs???

Thanks!

I ASSUME that it comes with whatever is in the picture. BUT, to answer your question, it would be best to actually ask RockAuto,com

Do I need to get ball joiints too when replacing the LCA??

I did ask them and I got a trash response. Like literally the most useless response ever lol

Just a question - Why are you replacing the complete LCA assembly?

The bushings have play in them and I got the car with 25k miles and it has 117k now. Also had a front end damage from an accident so I just want to replace the whole thing

^^^^Uh, OK. Understand. Accident damage. I have replaced the LCA bushings in my ISF with RRRacing's stiffer USRS bushings. I also sold my bushings to an ISX50 owner because they were a little stiffer than the stock ISX50 ones. But, if you have confirmed damage to the LCA assemblies, then, of course replacement is the correct action.

What you see is what you get. BJ and rear bushing are seperate items.

And ya, I know where those ISX50 bushings went...

Are you sure they don't come with bushings? ?

They come with a bushing yes, you can see it in the picture. There are 2 bushings on the arm though, and the other one is separate and most definitely not included with the arm.

Ahhh gotcha well the mechanic told me there was play in my front LCA bushings so im guessing that bushing that has the issue is the bushing that is included in the products im looking at. Correct?

Thanks.

Right but I know my Issue is the front LCA bushing
​So I should be good with these items. Except I think I'll need the ball joint too.

Oh, for sure, if it's the forward bushing on the front lower control arm that you're having issues with, these will include that bushing.

(The forward and rearward bushings are both "front lower control arm bushings," so I didn't realize you meant the front one on the front arm. )

Do you know if I'll need to replace the ball joints up front too? Someone on reddit told me that if I'm replacing the front LCAs and bushings that I have to replace the ball joints too

I wonder if I should just replace the rear bushings too...

There's no need to do components that aren't worn or damaged. It's a bit simpler if you aren't reusing the ball joint as you wouldn't have to separate it from the arm, but it's really not a big deal.
