4 total.I have found that the vendor formerly known as vanagon cafe has the
best price by far(hope they avoided large expensive legal fees by
complying). One suggestion-- If you are going to tack weld them in(there is
a debate on this), use electric welding !!! A gas welder makes too much
heat and will melt part of your new bushings. Also,swap the inner front
sway bar bushings from right side to left side, and you will get virgin
wear points. Put anti sieze compound in the bushings too, as they can go
squeekiee squikiee squikie too. Dont forget your new front end alignment.
Squeekeee squeekeee squeek.Get new strut bar bushings(cheap) Origional
bushings can loosen up and wobbel and enlarge the hole(formerly 1 inch in
dia holes) to 2 inches in diameter! Clunk clunk clunk.
