Installation Notes and Tips

Verify vehicle year, make, model, and rear-at-shock position before ordering. Compare the original bushing dimensions to the listed measurements for inside diameter, outside diameter, wall thickness, and length. Because mounting hardware is not included, reuse or source the required hardware separately if your application calls for it. Professional suspension service is recommended for pressing and alignment-sensitive installation steps.
