Default Hardrace 6101 Bushings

Hey fellas.

I just got my hardrace bushing set for DC.

now the front upper control bushings have three large bushings and one smaller bushing...

did they send me the wrong part? cause they look all about the same size on the car?

help?

There are two bushings on each upper control arm...I'm not sure where they intended the third one to go.

Think you could get a picture up of the bushings you have? Maybe someone could recognize something and clarify things from there.

In your first post you said there are four bushings for the upper control arms, but now you're saying that there are four bushings for the whole front-end...if all four are for both front corners and there aren't any others for the front, then yeah there might be some mess-up in the order...maybe.

Could you get a picture of them up? Maybe they can be identified as something else.

There are FIVE bushings on each side of the car's front end.

2 for the upper control arm

3 for the lower control arm - the 2 that connect the LCA to the chassis (rear one is called the compliance bushing), and then the one where the shock fork connects.

I ment for 4 total for both drivers/passenger side upper control.

I never said frontend. just in the 6101 Hardrace package which is upper control arm set.

aah sorry for the confusion.

Well if you bought a kit that's solely for the upper control arms, and you got four bushings, three of which are identical with one different one, then something's amiss. There are two bushings and a ball joint associated with the each upper control arm. The two bushings are identical and there is no difference between the bushings on each side.

Might want to contact them and see what's up.
