FWIW the kit is the same whether you get it from Jegs or us.

Eric,

I know these had been on backorder for a few weeks. I believe you had told me 2-3 weeks. After e-mailing the help/service/whatever address to inquire to my ETA, I haven't gotten a reply. My invoice number was 11469.

I'm definitely excited to get these in. Hoping to have them soon.

instead of just torching them off, get some circular drill bits and take off as much rubber as you can. That will make the torching part go by a lot faster.

And those two larger sleeves are for the lower front. If your kit (prothane) did not come with them then you're suppose to reuse the old one. I barely could get the new bushing in so i didn't reuse it.

Eric,

I ordered the prothane bushings too. I ordered them last Monday. I called Thursday and you said you would call me back after you called Prothane but you never did. You also said 5 orders went out before mine but the guy above, MongooseGA says he's been waiting too. Please let me know what is going on. My order number is 20877.

I apologize, things have been very hectic. i assure you your order is on the way, you are #2 on the list according to my records, and will be receiving your bushings with the next batch.

Yes and thank you! You are #3 on the backorder list and are in on the next batch as well.

I just placed another order for 10 more this time. I think we are literally ordering them faster than prothane can make them.

Hey Eric,

What's the status with the CA bushings. This is ridiculous now. A one week wait would've been fine but it's been almost a month now since I've first placed my order and 3 weeks since you've told me they were on back order. I've been needing those bushings since I first ordered them. I hate your refund policy with a passion. A 10% cancellation fee for a backordered item and a 60 day window?? According to previous posts, this back order issue for bushings is not the first time it has happened either.

If you can't supply the product just provide the refund and I will gladly take my business over to Jegs. Ali_SC3 got his shipment within a week. I would much rather pay an extra 5 dollars for bushings than have floating control arms.

What are the ball joints and how can you check if they're bad? Why does it depend on whether or not they're good?

EDIT: Nevermind, I already know what they are, but how do you check if their bad?
