Default Have I got the right Daizen CA bush kit?

Before i go and take apart the control arm's on my GS,need to know if i've got the right kit from Daizen as my car's a 2001 model.

I got them from TM Engineering,i'm not saying they've given me the wrong kit,I just want to make sure.

The big circle bush which goes on the lower control arm,it's much bigger looking that the OEM bush that's in there now,I assume it's meant to be like that?

The Daizen bush looks beefier than the OEM bush,the lip on the top of the Dazien is thicker etc etc

Picture as reference :


Sorry if this sounds confusing,I'll get a pic of the daizen bush up soon,

It might be a good idea to show pics of what you received. If you have the CA bushings that are about half an inch bigger on both sides, it's the correct one.

As Infamous1 pointed out you likely have the correct ones. The extra material on either side of the Daizen keeps the bushing in place, as there is no longer a metal sleeve like the stock bushing that holds it in.

Also, note that the extra material presses flat against the underbody of the car and the lower triangular bracket to further brace the caster arm. It acts somewhat like a torsion arm on a truck in that regard and actually stiffens up the effective spring rate some.
