    Hello all.
    I bought a set of "Bilstein 4600 assembled coilovers with replacement springs and rear shocks" online from Suspensionlifts.com for my '06 Tacoma Prerunner.
    When I tried to install the rear shocks, I noticed that the rubber bushings that came in the hardware pack for the upper mount were different than the originals. The new bushings were smaller in diameter and flat on the top and bottom. The original rubber bushings had a flange that fit into the mounting hole to help hold them in place.
    The picture above shoes the new Bilstein shock vs. original and new mounting hardware vs original.
    Has anyone else run into this issue and how did you proceed?
