    Does anyone know what size the LCA bushings were used in '75 for a V8 car? Every parts store lists 1 7/16" and 1 9/16" bushings. Did Ford made two different sizes that year? Is one for a V8 and the other one for a straight 6?

    You have to get the entire Lower control arm. They don't just sell the bushings.

    Summit and Autozone sell polyurethane bushings. My ball joints are good. I just want a tighter bushing.

    I finally got around to replacing these and found that I have one of each. Unfortunately, I bought a 1 7/16" bushing kit. I either get to order a 1 9/16" kit or get a new LCA.
