When i had the subframe out of my car and all the suspension peices apart.. i didnt put any of my ES bushings in the uprights or the LCA's.. the reason i didnt is because the stock bushings were stiff enought.. but after messing with my suspension with out the shockson. (moving it up and down) i realized i need to press those bushings in asap.. and here is my reasoning.. and correct me if im wrong..
with the stock bushing the metal sleeve in the center is made into the bushing.. and in the ES they are not.. so when u tighten down ur stock bushing it pulls the metal sleeve tight. and when ur control arms move it fights the rubber in the bushing the whole time, limiting the movement. with ES bushings the metal sleeve is seperate so when the control arm moves the metal sleeve will turn inside the bushing instead of trying to twist the bushing..
im sure yall already knew this, but i felt like i made a decent discovery.. lol and correct me if im wrong on any of this..
