Mods, if there's a more appropriate place, please move.
While installing new suspension components this afternoon I discovered one of the lower cam bolt/washer assys were frozen in place in the LCA bushing. :emotions34: After twisting nut and bolt end off it was unmovable, even with a SnapOn HD air chisel against the broken end. Can't heat em because of the rubber inside, so out came the sawsall. Cut the bolt off on both sides of the bushing (also had to cut the bushing, but with frozen bolt in it, it was already junk).
While looking for new bolt/washer components I found them from "Specialty Products Company". SPC is the #1 supplier of aftermarket OE style, as well as unique to them engineered "specialty" bushings, adaptors, gizmos, for the wheel alignment industry.
They have also recently released a new and unique product specially for Liberty (and related MOPAR) suspensions. This is tapered shims, both a 1/2degree and a 1degree version to place between wheelbearing/hub assy and spindle to add or subtract listed amount of camber. While this may not be the perfectionists choice, it's a very workable one for vehicles with slight damage,or less than perfect lift to get alignment specs back in useable specificatons.
SPC part #s are;
82365 for replacement cam bolts
26012 and 26014 for tapered shims.
My only affiliation with SPC is from having used them with excellent results in my alignment shop for the past 15 years.
