Anybody got a set of old bushings lying around?

[scott in cincy]

I had my old bushings pressed off of my control arms (upper and lower, both sides) in order to put in the Energy Suspension stuff, and then realized that you need the old sleeves. Rather than buy another set of bushings just to burn them out, does anyone have any lying around they would part with if I pay the shipping? Or, if anyone knows of where you can buy just the sleeves, that'd be great as well.

Thanks!

Actually I might still have my old bushings laying around the shop I'll take a look around. It was just the uppers though.

If memory serves me right you dont reuse the factory lower ones anyways, its just the upper outer sleeve in inner slever. Just be sure that the inner sleeves are not corroded/rust away any, if so they will ruin your new bushings in no time.

I'll look at it this weekend again, I went ahead and ordered another set of bushings...from looking at it, it doesn't look like any of the Energy Suspension bushings fit without the sleeves?

My bushing were shot, if rust could compromise the new bushing. I would just go with the new ones anyway.
