You gotta get yourself to a wrecking yard and pick up the origianl bushing AND the original top bushing cap. The bushings are thicker and stiffer and the metal caps are much thicker and stiffer. If you do any off roading at all (or even hit the occasionial "traffic calming device"), the KYB mounting plates will bend and allow too much movement of the mount. Mine were actually turned inside out when I pulled them! Karl Wolz |
