Compliance bushing moving forward on LCA

[nickname]

Replaced both LCA but the compliance bushing on the passenger side LCA keeps moving. And the car wobbles like hell when driving over bumpy roads.

Any reason why it would be doing this?

Have you ensured all the bolts have been torqued to spec? I have those same Supepro LCAs and I remember it was a bit difficult with access on some of the bolts.

You know the specs? We just hit it with an impact. My buddy help me and he works on Bugattis and McLaren's (racecars) so I assume he felt comfortable before sending me down the road

I used this for the specs

My friend is thinking the alignment is off causing the vibration but I'm thinking it might be the CV axle or the shock

Thoughts?

just realized there's not audio in the vids.
turns our a bearing fell out of the CV causing all kinds of vibrations

Was the axle removed during the install? And if so why?

I swapped the motor out with a lower mileage one
in doing so, we pulled the axel from the transmission
I guess the CV was laying/pulled in a way that caused a bearing to fall out

honestly, I have no idea how it happened

Ah ok makes more sense now. Glad you got it taken care of.
