i was reading the KAkabox build and noticed that he changed the LCA for the Teg's LCA. all good and dandy. then i'm looking thru the wiki/faq section and it said nothing about the LCA. it did mention the radius arms. idk wat a radius arm is anyways. so if someone could explain to me wat it is that'd be great. or tell me if it's just another name for the same part and this post was pointless...

either would be greatly appreciated,

And Wiki says:
"A radius rod (also called a radius arm or a torque arm) is a suspension member intended to control wheel motion in the longitudinal (fore-aft) plane. The link is connected (with a rubber or solid bushing) on one end to the wheel carrier or axle, on the other to the chassis or unibody of the vehicle.

Radius rods typically are mounted ahead of the wheel. In that position they resist dive under braking forces and wheel hop under acceleration."

They look like:

Just tell her you are fixing it for someone and it is not yours and when they never show up to pick it up tell her you are keeping it for all of the work you put into it.
