[QUOTE="Eyespyautomotive, post: 1353654, member: 32304"] Sway bar and links are brand new. When I put my rebuilt shocks back in with brand new bushings, there was basically zero clearance between the lower control arm and the shock bushing on the sides, there was no room to put anything else in there. I checked because someone else mentioned a shim and i was going to do it if i could. I totally understand what you're saying about the clearance, that's why I was paying attention to it when I took it apart to do my shocks. I might revisit this after checking some other things, but I really don't think that the bottom bushing is loose at 420 lb/ft on the bottom bolt. On mine anyway. I would love to see someone torque the lower bolt in a removed LCA with no shock and take before and after measurements of the lower eyelet area to see if the LCA compresses or not. Anyone have a spare LCA to try this? And yes, definitely gets worse in cold weather. [/QUOTE]
