Since I have a lathe I ended up knurling the pins.

I ordered my parts from summit and all of the front suspension bushing were off.  some I corrected, the remainder I reordered until they fell in spec then returned the rest.    They were made in different countries, but I don't think there was a correlation with good parts and where they were made.

I guess moog doesn't own a pair of digital calipers  :dunno

Well I've  ordered and returned 4 bushings. I thought about adjusting the pin but I don't have the equipment.

I had a similar issue with loose moog bushings on my OEM pins. It took very little force to press them in. I ordered new pins from PST and they worked perfect with the same bushings. I assumed the bushings were at fault but it turned out to be the pins which is strange because the pins dont seem to be a wearing item which would reduce the diameter. :thinking:

Wow. I guess I dodged a bullet when I replaced all my front suspension's bushings with Moog 3 years ago.  Everything fit fine then.  :)

Hi guys.  Has anyone purchased Moog LCA bushings lately?  Curious of the fitment issue has been resolved.
