Upper control arm bushing?

[Syclone#892]

I remember people talking about saving the sleeves for the upper bushings. I thought someone on here said they bought some from the dealer but I can't find that post anymore. I had a friend look it up but he was unable to find the sleeve. Just wondering if I have to buy the whole bushing from the dealer or if you can get just the sleeves and my friend did not look hard enough. I prefer not to reuse the old ones because we are installing everything new in the susp and this way we can have the control arms ready to pull off old and install new to save downtime.

Thanks for any help.

What exactly are you planing to do?? Change control arms?? Install new bushings???

Everything is getting changed, js design control arms, qa1 shocks, flex a forms, rear sway bar, ball joints, tie rods, steering box, everything. I just want to buy the new sleeves install the bushings in the control arm then I can just swap the control arms easily and get it on the road quicker.

I remember several ppl trying to get them and nobody could ever get the #. you dont even get them if you order the kit from the dealer. the only way I remember somebody getting them was by ordering the whoe a arm.

Can we use PST rubber bushings to grab the collar out of?

to my knowledge none of the bushing kits come with the sleeves. but the last ones I used were ES and I know they didnt have them.

to my knowledge none of the bushing kits come with the sleeves.

Well my pst front end rebuild kit came with the sleeves, but it came with everything else too, hope that helps.
