Oh, gotcha Duke. Well there seems to be only one application on the rack bushings so that is the best data I have right now.

If for any reason any of these bushings do not fit or you find that they will not work we will take them back no questions asked. We mostly would prefer the data to feedback to our application database.

Unfortunately they only come in a complete set. If I break the set then I would need to find someone just interested in the other side. Frankly if the rubber on the clamshell has aged to the point of deterioration , both should be replaced.

Thanks for the feedback Stick3
I will be working on adding a full SC category on our site so I can post up the rest of the bushings soon.

No prob Mike, weather is getting warmer so hopefully i can get some more driving in and see how these bushings perform.

For installation i was a little hesitant because i thought i would need to break out a press to get the new bushings in. However with some of the supplied grease and a little finesse i was able to get the new bushings in by hand. Trick is to get it in at an angle (see pic) and then press the other portion past the bushing's lip. After that it'll slide right in (provided you greased the rack prior to install).



Here are some comparison pics




can't wait for the rest of the bushings mike!

Finally a better pic of teh rear subframe bushings. Also one set is up on the site. If you order now and they are out it will be 2-3 weeks to fill the BO.

Mike,
The REAR subframe bushings offered covers all 4 pcs needed in the rear (2 fronts, 2 rears) for that price ? OR is it just for the front pair as they look like them based on posted pics above ?

The price above is just the front pair. I need to look at a subframe to figure out waht is need for the rear.
