    i bought a master kit and its really nice but it didnt come with front sway bar bushings, rear trailing arm bushings(the big round ones), and the 2 comensater arm bushings ( 2 rear arms on each side) but very nice items. fr the stock bushings press out the center sleeves then use a sal zal to cut the outer rings but make sure not to cut into the control arms. its pretty simple though

        i just installed all of mine, I didn't have a press so I used a jigsaw to cut the rubber out and the center sleeve, then a saw zall for the outer ring, not too bad

          I just burned the bushings out then put wd40 on the bushing and used a bench clamp to squeez them in it was pretty easy

              Torch the old ones out, repaint (or powder coat) control arms, press new ones in. Burning them out can be quite messy ;)

                        Its really simple and self explanatory. When my bushings ripped apart on my LCA, I got a torch and burned the rest of the bushing off and then took the metal ring out and added the lube that energy suspension provided me with and the bushing went in like nothing. And these bushings are also great, because you dont have to worry about it being torqued on wrong and twist when you finish the install.. Unlike OEM bushings, you have to torque the lca bolt when the car is completely on the ground so you dont twist and rip the oem bushing.. Hope you find your answer.

                          sorry to bump a dead thread. for the people that have installed these bushings, do they finally come with a diagram that shows what bushings go where? that's the only thing i'm concerned with. i've seen a lot of threads on H-T asking for diagrams on what each bushing is for. all my bushings are shot and need replacing like last year.

                          i see in the pics of the set that it's just a bag full of bushings, it's a little overwhelming.
