so i did some more research new bushings would cost me around 70 shipped from a local parts store.. so instead i ordered a pair of aftermarket LCA's for 150 with the bushings. they should be here tuesday

i'll post up how the removal and installation goes if you guys are interested

but thanks for the help so far

 

That's what I had to do as well, I snapped the heads off 3 of the bolts, lol. I had to cut the LCA out with a sawzall, and replaced with a set of Skunk2 LCA's.
