So far when I did my shocks, I cleaned up the bolts on the 8 inch grinder wire wheel. I’m gonna try to clean this stabilizer bar up. Hit it with some self etching primer and some black enamel. I believe I have some leftover high heat satin black paint.

I was thinking about replacing the lower arms as well. I have several items in my RockAuto cart.

What is your opinion of the Mevotech products? They actually cost a bit more than the Moog products.
While 1/2 way through a Zone 6" install, I had a seized camber bolt on the driver side LCA bushing. Cut her out and went with that Mevotech from Rock Auto as it was readily available. 4.5 months later she is doing her job nicely.

And I believe those alignment bolts from Mevotech and Moog have grease fittings. What type of grease would be used around those LCA bushings?

I’m waiting on Parts and I ordered a set of those Camber adjustment bolts from RockAuto “just in case”.

Yea thats a good thing. Depending on how corroded stuff is on the undercarriage, its very possible they will need to be cut out of there.

You want a synthetic grease if they're poly bushings
