      The solid LCA bushing design allows, as stated above, zero deflection, and all suspension travel is being absorbed through the strut/springs like it should be.

      edit, lol yep I agree Ryan

        I have bought the bushings with caster modification, the inner sleeve must be pushed in the LCA's pin with force?
        So the "working surface" is the external diameter of the inner sleeve?
        Because i don't understand who part is fixed and who part can rotate... where can rotate i have to put grease...

              Ryan will confirm since he's used these before... But almost all urithane bushings that inner sleeve should push out.. You grease the bushing up and push the sleeve back in... Then you add some grease to the inside of the sleeve so it doesn't seize over time to the control arm...

              You use a non oil based grease.. I'd have to look up what grease I use I can't remember the name of it right now..

                The inner sleeve need the hammer for put it in the pin of LCA, so the grease can help but at the end doesn't rotate here, will rotate only in the contact area with urethane. Correct?

                  i honestly don't recall. It might not even turn inside the bushing....

                    It should spin on the sleeve. Pop the sleeve out and grease away! lol

                      ok, inside the sleeve is locked and outside can rotate, the special grease in the SuperPro pack how long does it take before disappear? After you have to put other grease.

                          You adjust the bushing BEFORE you put it in the LCA. You cannot not adjust the bushing after it is inserted.
