5100 bushings (oh no!)

[mallard]

Got my 5100's in from wheelers and realized they did not come with bushings (stem cushions and washers is what the site says). I missed that nugget of detail. Does anyone know what bushings for the front I need to order? I've got new top hat, new spring isolators and a rented spring compressor. I have a small window of time that I can do the install. Any info is much appreciated!!!

I ordered mine from toytec in the suspension accessories page. I think they were $20

You should be able to reuse the OEM bushings if you'd like.

I was hoping to assemble the new ones without disassembling the old. The less I use the spring compressor the more my chances to keep my fingers. Lol

That's weird. I purchased through Amazon and mine came with the stem cushions, a new nut and washers! :sorry:

If your using the old springs, your going to have to remove the old one anyway. Use the old ones unless there chewed up.

I find it scary using a spring compressor on them thick coils. Using the no compressor method was super easy.

FYI; here's how I installed my front struts without disassembling the old ones:
