          because the lower control arms use two different bushings on each side from 79-94

            Ok so that means the 02 lower control arms I have are useless. Unles I had bought part# 4.3130 right? I'm just upset cause I had the 02 arms sandblasted and painted... But if I use the original arm everything will be well.

              I was just looking at energysuspension.com, and it *looks* like you can't buy stuff directly off the website. Or is there some hidden link you have to know about?

                You have to go through a dealer, i.e. Jeg's, Summit, or any other number of companies.

                    energysuspensionparts.com, I think that's the good place to buy the stuff.

                    One place was good, one place was assholes. I don't remember where I bought my stuff from, Scott knows though.

                    I googled it, yeah, energysuspensionparts.com, suspension.com were the a-holes..

                      How much of the original bushing casing do you save? The inner and putter sleeve or just the outter sleeve. I can't see being able to save the inner sleeve

                        gotta save the outer sleeves......just burn out the rubber

                        i get my bushings from energysuspensionparts.com
                        can also get the bushings at autozone, but they charge more

                          Do i need to put washers on the outside of the bushings since the original rubber bushings had a washer built onto the inner sleeve?

                            yea you need to use the washers on the upper arms........clean them up real good, and also get new upper control arm nuts

                              And clean and polish the hell out of those washers, paint them and lube them well. The locknut info is in the sticky... buy em from mcmaster.com.

                                Do the washers just push out I would assume they are just rusted in, and a hammer would loosen things up.
