These are the pins that worked for me, vs the shorter one because the back part of the pin was flat vs the shorter one was domed. After installing these I trimmed them to match the oem lenght.

Excellent thread, need to replace about eight of my cam pins. Just damaged from wheeling. Ordered the SPC's.

This won’t help finding/replacing pin but may help not bending new ones?

Thank you for the link. I started checking these out and found Zone Offroads with the same thing. Not sure which one I will go with but my camber alignment pins are bent or missing. I like the idea of having two points that hold the cam in place. I wheel hard and each time almost driving home the alignment is way off from the cam moving.

How did these end up working out? 2 out of the 3 reviews on amazon said they fell out right away.

removed the lower control arm, used a C clamp and a socket to press them in, no issues
I tried this, because it made sense, and still had to drive them in the last bit with a flat 1/4" punch... which was harder to get an angle with on a couple pins. I used a small 3" C-clamp that didn't give much leverage, though. Maybe a C clamp with a hex head to torque it down?

I imagine the Amazon people didn't press them in correctly or they were using them on a different vehicle. There's no way they'd just fall out after being pressed into our LCA brackets.

Yeah now that I put them in I see that. They are tight.

Did those GM pins from SPC work? I just ate a big boulder in the desert and bent a pin. Won’t hold the alignment now.

I see you have Icon Rebound Pros. Mine took a big hit breaking the rim, but the bead held. Drove 60 more trail miles in the heat of day, before changing to the spare that night at camp.

I bought the SPC pins mentioned earlier. They aren't working well for me. I tried a couple different clamps, and even an alignment installation tool. I think they are just slightly too large. I can't get enough leverage on the clamp to press them in fully. When I really crank on them the clamp tends to shift off to one side. Ant other tips? You can even see the clamp starting to bend in the pic below.
