Bushing kit help

ragek23 · Post by **ragek23** » Tue Aug 17, 2010 11:00 pm

I purchased an energy suspension bushing kit a year ago and since then some bushings have been installed by the service garage. The service garage apparently lost the directions for the kit so I don't' know what the remaining bushings are for. Some of my stock bushing are so rotted they look nothing like what I have left in the box or from the picture.

Labeled on the attached picture is the groups of bushings that i have remaining and do not know where they go.

Any help would be greatly appreciated,

#1 are the front sway bar bushings.
#2 the half round ones are the rear swaybar bushings.

there is two brakets on each swaybar that those bushings are set in.

#3 looks like the rear tension strut bushings? they are the ones on the bottom of the rear knuckles on either side of the car

Part of #3 looks like it is for the rear lateral arms (there are 4 smaller ones all together for that; 2 fronts and 2 backs), so maybe the other, bigger two are for the tension struts like mentioned above.

OK so they installed all the bushings except the ones in the far right of circle #3. Any clues about where those might go?

BTW I had them install new mopar trailing arms and rear adjustable control/lateral arms and they told me that i should have gotten all four lateral arms replaced cuz the bushings fell right out of them! Now there is a HUGE difference now. I can hardly feel any bumps now like i did before the bushing install.

Those bushings would replace the ones in your new trailing arms.

Here's a link to the parts list: http://www.energysuspensionparts.com/In ... /17355.pdf

For the record, I had a REALLY bad experience with energysuspensionparts.com. Sway bar bushings were already opened and greased (guessing a return, sold as new....piss me off). Parts that were advertised as "In Stock" on their web site turned out to be special order only, two week turn around time at best....I'm still waiting. And to top it all off, UPS delivered my partial order to the wrong address and I still haven't heard back from esp.com as to what they are gonna' do for me about the situation.

Sorry for venting in your thread. Hope the parts list helps. The part numbers for the instructions that were included in your set are listed. I did not try google with those numbers.

Good luck.
