5th gen ES LCA Bushing Kit and Stock LCAs
For a 5th gen maxima. Tampa.
I decided to simply replace the stock LCAs rather than go the ES bushing kit route.
The ES kit has been opened but all pieces are present.
I also have the stock LCAs. If you are thinking about doing the ES, I highly recommend that you buy the stock LCAs so that you can have the ES pressed in ahead of time.
That way, all you have to do is remove the old LCAs and replace with the ES prepped ones.
The LCAs have blown ball joints (you need new ones for the ES anyway) and the large bearing was already shot so no need to remove. Otherwise they are fine.
$50 for the ES kit.
I paid about 200 total for the new lcas from Napa. So, $100 total for the stock nissan ones.
Prefer pickup.
