    Cast Arm bushing instructions

    I ordered the bushings a while ago, and am just getting around to installing them. I apparently lost the instructions when I moved, and they aren't up on your site. I need to know which bushing the "long" and "short" sleeves go into.

    Ok finally found the instructions on the website. No mention of short vs long. Ended up checking out the remains of the factory bushings and figured out the larger bushing on the rear gets the short piece and the front gets the long piece.

    Yes short sleeve on the rear of the a-arm, long sleeve on the front of a-arm.
    Look on page two of the instructions, bottom of the page, red letters.

    One thing is make sure the sleeves sit in a bit, when I did mine, I shortened them a tad so there was some side preload on the bushings.
