vosko, I entered the ES part # at summit and they don't even sell it! I found it at http://www.cyberauto.com for $105, maybe I'll do that.



thanks for the update on the 5 lug *****, you rock.

I think I saw in a thread on the "other forum" that you have to make sure you get the COMPLETE set of bushings, sometimes they won't include everything.

If you want me to check which bushings maker and parts numbers and **** to get I could search for them, just PM me

Just to let know you, Energy Suspension seems to have better molds for their bushings. Reason being is this:



For a certain Jeep (I forget which one), Energy Suspension introduced a bushing kit. Prothane came out w/ one later. Apparently, I had heard that Prothane basically used a Energy Suspension kit to make their mold. Therefore, the Prothane kit is a mold of a mold (if that makes sense). Any minute errors in the Energy Suspension kit are now increased in the Prothane kit. I don't know as to whether this is true...it is heresay.



IMO, I would definitely purchase a Energy Suspension kit as opposed to the Prothane kit.

Node I know you didn't intend for everyone to PM you but I did because I am looking to do a total suspension swap. I think the info you have would be very important.
