Unanswered: missing bushing ?
I notice that I miss a bushing on both sides.Is that normal or is it a coincidence that the same bushing is missing on both sides? You can see the missing rubber on the right site of the A-arm |

Duvel, it appears the bushing lip is worn away on your upper A-arm. Those bushings are sleeves that go through the arm ends with lips on both ends. OGTS has, I believe, original style bushings and the newer Poly Bushings, and very comprehensive instructions on how to install them. HTH

Enclosed is a picture of a disassembled upper control arm that shows the single bushing I believe you are speaking of. It is to the right in the picture. Hth, Jarrell
