    16' SR5 Premium 4WD
    Voxx "PRO's" Bronze (17x8.5) wrapped in 285/70-17 Mickey Thompson Baja Boss A/T's, 5100's with Dobinsons C59-302 2.5" front coils and Ironman 1.5" Light Load rear coils. RCI Engine Skid plate. CAT Shield SS. Freedom Offroad UCA's. 14" Borla Pro XS Muffler (40358)
    So, after installing my lift, the alignment shop told me that my cam bolts are seized and recommended I replace my LCA's. Freedom Offroad has a set with new cam bolts for $340. Their UCA's seem to be beefy. Any comments or experience with them? Dont want to spend a ton of cash.

    My Go to is always have new cam bolts when going for alignment .

    Living in eastern Pa a shop not wanting to just replace your cam bolts is either clueless or looking to sell you the LCA`s To replace the LCA`s a shop only need to cut off both ends of the cam bolts pop the LCA in and done so to speak

    I have removed and replaced a few sets of Cam bolts since 2000.

    I would rebuild your old ones if I had them . I buy ones just like yours rebuild all the wear parts and just swap them.

    Best of Luck no matter what you decide
