    Has anyone reused the bushings and washers when replacing struts? I just got some 5100s from the classifieds, and realized they don't have bushings with them, and no where sells them local. Can I reuse mine without a catastrophic failure?

    The same shit everyone else has.
    You can swap them over no issue. Just make sure theyre still useable since they’re a wear item.

    You can purchase new KYB ones on Amazon for about 20$ a pop vs purchasing new oem ones if you chose to replace them.

    I went this route when I refreshed my front suspension. 100% happy with the KYB ones.

    Anyone have part # for bottom bushing for 5100's? I've only seen Bilstein bushings on Summit Racing but they don't list what shocks both of the bushings they carry are for.

    There is a Bilstein manufacturing plant 10 miles from my house but they don't sell over the counter.

    Strut bushings makes me think fronts.

    OP if you’re asking about the rear shocks, you can reuse the upper rubber bushings/washers too if need
