The instructions specifically say to reuse stock bushing parts for the shock bushing. Also, the bag they were in was sealed.

Well I do know that ES does the same thing with rear trailing arm bushings (re-use stock sleeve), so it would not surprise me. The instructions list all the parts I was suppose to receive, nothing is missing. I PM'd dan to see what he has to say about it.

ya see about that.... that sounds kinda screwed up if they have you use the stock sleeve since you have to cut it out or something to reuse it.... i got the one good side but one of the strut bushings i had to cut off since it was seized... just let me know.

dang i just realized how cheap those bushings are! hell i wish i looked at those when i was doing my old 94civic since i had to replace just about every rear bushing!!!!!! and i went with oem ones. i could have saved quite a bit...

I see what's up now... i'm not missing anything. You have to buy 2 different bushing sets.

16.8103G (your link) comes with the shock bushings/sleeve only, and from the picture they appear to come with the weird small bushings that mine came with (to reuse stock metal sleeves). The one I bought (16.3104G) comes with the trailing arm-LCA and subframe-LCA bushings/sleeves... and some weird small bushings/inserts that go over the stock shock bushing, sort of like engine mount inserts.


Danomatic93 told me that since he bought the master set it came with both of those sets, minus the weird insert bushing things.

Installed those new end-link bushings on the front sway bar. I don't have pics of the new ones on because my hands were too greasy to handle the camera and then it got dark... but here's a pic of one of the old bolts. It's bent as hell

Debating whether or not I should just buy the ES master kit... I suppose I would save money in the long-run. Can I rent all the presses required from the auto parts stores?
