unit6usa Posted June 10, 2015 Share Posted June 10, 2015 So I bought part number 7.3102R from ES and the sleeves are longer than the factory ones. I go to install them and am unable to tighten them down to the control arm because they stick out a smidge on either side of the bushings. Is this normal? How do I fix this? Thanks!

Kingman Posted June 10, 2015 Share Posted June 10, 2015 They are. Just cut them down to fit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Precise1 Posted June 10, 2015 Share Posted June 10, 2015 Just match the length to that of the bushing or just slightly smaller and you will be golden. B Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
adamzan Posted June 12, 2015 Share Posted June 12, 2015 I can't believe this is still an issue. I had to do this on the first set I installed years ago, and again last year. I gave up and bought the super lift UCAs where the bushings fit properly the first time with no modifications. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ryan88pathy Posted June 12, 2015 Share Posted June 12, 2015 Mine fit with a little work but work great. I think the price alone is worth buying the energy suspension bushings. Sent from my SAMSUNG-SM-G900A using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
unit6usa Posted June 14, 2015 Author Share Posted June 14, 2015 Yes adamzan, it seems like they could cut them at the factory to proper size. A hacksaw and a vice worked tho haha! I will look into the brand you mentioned for next time tho! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
