So please bear with me as I lay out my 42 part (exaggerating, I hope) question.
Okay, so just rolled over 60k in the LR3 and I can definitely feel and hear that it is time to do the LCAs on all corners. I posted a related question a while back, HERE, and believe that it is the Sway Bar Bushing and maybe the Knuckle Bushings, so those will probably be added to the list.
Now here in lies my question(s), upon doing a fair amount of research/video watching/pricing my options, it seems as though I have four options to choose from with regards to doing the LCAs.
So what is everyone's thoughts and what kind of distance/life have you been getting out of the various options listed above? Have I missed any other options?
Now the other factor to weigh in is this press, HERE , in which I would really consider purchasing (in the case of option 2 or 3) if I could offset the costs some. It seems like the kit and press will be around $400-500 I think(email into the comapany), but it'd really speed up the process. So my next question is, if I got it, would anyone be interested in renting it from me? Say for like 20-30 bucks? That way it helps more than just me and I can recoup (albeit slowly) some of the tool costs. (If this is an inappropriate question to ask or just rude, tell me and I'll edit this post)
And thus ends my 42 part question, in which I thank you all for making it this far and would HUGELY appreciate comments (or anything else that seems funny) below. :lurk:
Thank you again,
Tyler

- Replace the entire assembly on all 4 corners
- Replace just the bushings/balljoints/maybe even knuckle bushings on respective corners
- Replace with Poly Bushings (Orange) w/ grease on them and ball joints/maybe knuckle bushings
- Go with ADVsuspensions new beefier LCAs (most expensive route) on all 4 corners
