Front control arm bushing noise and re-indexing

[glamcem]

I have a squeaky noise coming from the front and I was told that this might be the front control arm bushing and they can be re-indexed.

How many of you have had the same thing happened with coilovers after a few track days? And is it really easy to re-index the bushings? I am not even familiar with the term "re-indexing" Would an aftermarket bushing (whiteline or etc) be a worthwhile upgrade ?

Thanks in advance

I'm only guessing since the term is foreign to me too, but I would think they mean loosening the bolts that hold the LCA to the subframe off a bit, then re-torquing them with the weight of the car on the wheels (sitting at normal ride height).

I did my rears when I installed my springs, but not the fronts and don't have any noises, but it's worth giving it a shot.

that's exactly what they said but I am not sure how it could be done since I only have jacks and jack stands so maybe my best bet is to either get some sort of ramps or take it to some place...it's really an annoying noise

You can put the jack stands under the control arms to support the car, or find a shop that'll do it for cheap (should take 5 minutes if they have an alignment hoist).

I have extra set of jack stands so I can at least give it a shot

Thanks
