Lots of buzzwords in that video that are standard practice for most others. They do look nice, but their decline as a quality parts supplier has been exponential. That decline has burned the majority of their customer base.

Looking at those parts on RA, they are typically 1/2 the price of TTX. Probably a good reason for that.

Yes I noticed that. It's too bad TtX doesn't make an upper a arm with their ttx line.

So just to be upfront I'm looking to get everything off RA. There are some parts that don't have a TTX line. That I'm looking at Ac delco and.moog. Just seems alot of suppliers are a crapshoot nowadays.

Easier for me at home to come with new a arm bushing complete. I don't have a press

1. Buy new A-arms(complete with new bushings).
2. Remove upper ball joint.
3. Install TTX ball joint.

Alternatively:

1. Burn old rubber bushings out of original control arms
2. Install black poly bushings in the old shells (no press needed)
3. Remove upper ball joint
4. Install TTX ball joint

Did you do this? What about the metal sleeves that the poly bushings don’t come with?

Yes, just looked and they do. Maybe I’m thinking of LCA bushings.
