    Do these replace the bonded on bushing? Are the bushings the same size etc as stock?

    Might be a good idea to update the description on your website to make it more clear for customers. It doesnt give much, if any, information regarding models it fits. If I had read that it replaced the bonded parts in the stock strut assembly and fit my year truck I would have ordered them in the first place and not had to make this thread. Just a suggestion.

    Famous Wheeler's shipping not included in that $20 quote.

    We do apologize for the confusion and lack of information on these.
    Although we do clearly mention in the Bilstein description that "The struts don’t come with new stem cushions or washers; you can re-use your existing cushions and washers or we offer new ones", we will make sure that the stem cushion kit has a little more detail on fitment and is a recommended product for the Bilstein front struts for future confusion. Thank you for your input.

    How did it go? I need to replace my less than a yr old Top KYB rubber bushings.. Is it just straight forward install?
    Remove the top nut and replace and put back the nut/tighten to what torque?
