Seized Front LCA Camber Adjustment
My 8's front camber adjustments are frozen.
Can the camber bushing be replaced on the front LCA with hand tools or do I need to replace the arm? And, if so, what is the oem part #? Regards. |
It's common and a complete bitch to replace. You need to remove the control arm to replace the bushing anyway, might as well replaces the arm.
You can try cutting the bolt off if you have a small enough grinder. I'd say a 3" cut off wheel should work. I ended up torching the bolt until it was cherry red and smacking it with a BFH until it popped loose. |
I replaced 4 different rx8's LCA in May(so yea, 8 LCA)
one of the LCA bolt was so stuck, and I don't have a replacement bolt around, so I can't just get a BFH to pop it(cuz if it breaks, car gonna get stuck not going anywhere) took me 2 hours to get it out with a rubber mallet & tons of lube ... can't even feel my arms after holy shit lol ALWAYS put grease on the bolt body when you are done ! |
