    hello,

    just ordered a set of Bilstein 5100 adjustable shocks from toytech and the rears didn't come with any bushings.

    are these replaceable bushings or are they supposed to be seated on from the factory?

    did i get a defective set?

    sucks that its the weekend and i have to wait till Monday at least to contact customer service

    anyone else have this problem?

    Did you check both ends of the box?

    Anyway- The rear shock bushings are reusable or replaceable.
    They look somewhat similar to this, except black.

    If your stock bushings are still in good condition, you can reuse them. Install is easy using a clamp or just the bolt & washer to squeeze them in the eyes upon install.
    I'd probably go ahead and get replacements though.

    Should have ordered from @HeadStrong Off-Road, everything they send out is complete and all bushing were replaced when I received my set of 4 all around. Not to mention they have the best customer service. You shouldn't have to used the stock bushing they should be sent with a new set. I would contact them as soon as Monday rolls around.

    They should have come with bushings. Just swap over the Stockers for now.
