    He got back to me later yesterday. They are the right ones because they are stamped just above the ball joint on the top with 7.0 HC. With the powered coating it can be a little hard to read but it has 7.0 HCDS on one and 7.0 HCPS on the other. DS for driver and PS for passenger. Just like everyone says it was great service for a great product!

    Do you have any suggestions for people tackling this regarding the washers as well? We got them but it was really difficult haha. Is the passenger side normally more tight of a fit than the driver side? Mine definitely was.

    @Blackout14 did he change them again? Looks like there are zerks now where the bushings are? Thought they went to an OEM Style bushing that didn't need to be greased. I had holes in mine that were filled with little screws as it was said that grease wasn't needed, now it looks like in this pic that zerks were added???

    Anyone had issues with the red powder coating flaking off the flat parts of the UCAs? I've had mine about 2 years and the red has flaked off both arms by the ball joint, on the short flat edge.

    Just didn't want to hear 2 years down the line if there was a problem, " How come you didn't keep the bushings greased?"
