I got the inner bushings installed on the upper and lower control arms. still not sure about the tapered upper inner bushing, I ended up knurling the right side upper control arm openings and installed a second set of bushings.
Unwrapped the lower outer bushings and installed them. The left side is a little tight, hope that works. unwrapped upper outer bushings and they are chrome plated.Installed the left side on Saturday, got the back bushing torqued to 170 ft/lb. Once the front one contacted the control arm I only could torque to 140 ft/lb it keep wanting to turn so I stop, Hope that works.
The chrome is so thick on the second set of bushings, the socket will not fit on the hex nut. I called " SI" and they said that the chrome plated bushing are wrong and were send back to the manufactures "wish they had told me"and replacements are about a month out.
I attached the left side suspension to the frame on Sunday. Did I make a mistake on using the chrome plated bushing on the left side lower control arm.
P.S. hope using the bold front is o.k. helps me with typing.
