Heloo again,

Just wanted to get some input on a concern of mine, will a bad LCA damage suspension in any way??

Thanks

 

No one out there that can help me out?

 

By bad lca do u mean the assembly, the bushing, the balljoint?

 

The Bushing is shot!

 

It might throw off your steering and make the ride unstable on rough roads. May also throw off your alignment, cause uneven tire wear, or make clunks from the front end. Should be ok for a while if you drive conservatively. The balljoints may be on their way out since the bushings are bad already so you gotta watch out for those.

 

My TT LCA's are on the way so i should be swaping them both out this weekend, I was just worrried i was going to damage the new suspension.. from your last reply it seems as though i should be okay, right?

Thanks for your input!!

 

Yea should be ok as long as you aren't road racing or drifting.
I think you will like how those supra lcas feel when you get them on. Don't forget to get an alignment right after.

 

I will, Thanks again

 

Okay im about to undergo the supra TT LCA's on my SC and i could use as much advise as possible!!!
A. Is this something i can do in my garage?
B. Any pain points?

Thanks

 

Don't have a link on how to change the SC's lca. I changed mine with FSM, but here is a link to an LS400 change that might give you an idea whether you would want to try it. It may not be just like the SC, but close in difficulty:

Someone may want to post a link, or you may search to find one showing a DIY for SC400 or Supra.

Also, if you bring it to a good suspension shop, they should be able to do it pretty quickly with a lift.

Good Luck.

Yes and yes.
Unless you need to be spoon fed by who ever feels like re-doing a well documented dyi, just type the words "Lower Control Arm" in the search button and specifiy SC300 400 Suspension and Brake" and you will find a freaking mountain of info by the many who have gone before you.
