Front Control Arm Bushings

[bodymccannx]

So I already have the Belltech spindles on my 07 Suburban and am now planning on installing the front springs (bought the 733BLT kit). I only want to get 1 inch lower out of the springs, so my question is - Do I really need to install the camber bushings included with the kit? As far as I can tell by reading the instructions, the bushings would only really be required if using the springs for 2".

Thanks,
Mark

3 inches or more I install them. its a hit or miss on them.

Thanks Tony, guess I just figured that since 2 inches are from the spindles and only 1 inch from the spring that the bushing may not be necessary - guess I'll just have to try it and see (is the issue one of alignment?)

I have spindles and drop struts and I'm lowered 3". I was 1 degree out of camber, which isn't bad, but I still ended up getting the camber kit and now it's perfect.

Nathanjax - thanks for the reply. I thought in your truck you had the Belltech spindles and lowering struts, not the springs. How difficult were the camber bushings to install??

Sorry, I meant struts. I have the Belltech struts that use the factory springs. Fixed my earlier post.



I had a shop do the camber bushing and re-align for something like $120 to $140. They have to be pressed out and the new ones pressed in. Kinda a pain.
