    I used moog on my sequoia about a year and half ago. They are fine for cheap. The Sequoia is kind of my beater so I don't care a whole lot, if it was a different car I would have replaced with OEM or replaced the OEM bushings with Siberian (If you can get them anymore).

    I believe the last thing I read here was the SPC had the same shortcomings as other aftermarket: The sleeves were plastic or otherwise garbage and failed in short order.

    I'm not a huge fan of Moog parts these days. I used to be a total fanboi about their stuff. I'd ask around before using.

    I had not success, they are garbage. Just go oem, the design is so much more robust. Or use cam eliminator plates.

    In the market for some LCA's. I would rather have OEM but what's a good alternative?

    I went with mevotech supreme. I know it's not a popular alternative but I had a bit more faith in their supreme parts VS regular mevotech. Available on rockauto. Seemed like a decent part when I installed em, just make sure you do final torque on the ground with vehicle on its own weight

    Not too long ago, no issues at all with anything but yea I definitely don't have a long term review for you unfortunately. I can definitely say though for cam bolts and plates, stay away from anything aftermarket. OEM is stupid expensive, there's just no avoiding it. Reuse everything you can from old ones, I managed to save 3 plates and all bolts. Just needed the sleeves and 1 plate

    Thanks. Yeah, I plan on reusing cam bolts. I'm hoping I don't need to replace them.

    Lower suspension go OEM all day! LCAs, LBJs, Cam bolts, Sleeves, the whole thing. Don't cheap out and go another 200k of peace of mind IMO. Whatever you decide wishing for the best!

    I recently put SuperPro LCA's on my GX project. Basically stock Arms with upgraded poly bushings. And cheaper than OEM

    @memario1214 can supply them

    I did white line bushing and 555 BJ on my 03 GX. The bushing were a PIA to remove. I used the bottle jack mention. Soaked in PB oil, NM car its whole life still kicked my ass.
    I'm needing to replace my LCA on my 04 Sequoia can someone chime in on their experience with aftermarket LCA time, mileage and usage of vehicle. I will be doing a lift at the same time. 2inch fox DCS Coil overs with JBA UCA. Ive installed OEM LBJ about 5k miles ago.
