I have 8 large dia bushings and 4 small dia bushings. As well as the 8 x-member pad bushings. Is this all I need (not counting the swaybar)? Is it obvious which way they should go in? My original bushings are completely gone, so I don't have anything to go on.
 
OK, I wasn't sure, because it looked like the lower a-arms took 6 bushings each... 4 inboard and 2 outboard. So, I though I might be short a few bushings. Thanks.
 
4 per lower a arm. What looks like a bushing at the swivel axle assembly is actually 2 seals that protect a bronze bushing. Might not be a bad idea to have new seals on hand when you pull everything apart. If you need some shout I should have an extra pair floating around here.
 
OK. I haven't gotten started yet... just taking a count. If I need them, I'll let you know Stewart. Thanks.
