My shock bushings are totally messed up, do these come with new ones or should I just buy some new ones separately?

Hi, Yes new ones are already pressed in. I cant remember what material they are made of but it is still in there working great. The Tacoma's eat front lower shock bushings because of all that weight but these have lasted the longest. Bruce

No but I would recommend new hd shocks and struts . To get the most out of your lift kit.

Bought quite a few suspension components last fall, but chose to do the engine work first. I started on the rear first. YOU WILL NEED some specialty tools if the hardened bolts are seized.(rust) Forget about penetrating oil and a torch. You'll do to much damage. Impact wrench will bust off bolt heads and/or nuts. Oh yeah, the kit will work. Bolts are fluted to hold grease (grade 8 minimum. but not included) If you plan on more intensive replacement of components; like bushings--oh boy,buy the brake lines on the arm they are attached. These vehicles had marvelous ride quality. It is in the bushings. The Sensen shocks are good. Limited lifetime warranty means that if the go bad after a few years, YOU buy new ones. Always use anti seize compound. Get new shock boots and the few other little things top and bottom. Anywhere metal touches metal and twists, turns or what not, test fit and grease the heck out of those spots. Better have decent impact wrench (NO 12 pt sockets) and a 4 1/2 in or 5 in angle grinder. FYI, never got the front struts on. Lousy health. Good luck and sorry for long winded answer.

I don't know, but what I do know is that they are a waste of time and money you'll blow your shocks have to buy new ones replace original coils and be back at square 1

I think you need to have a shop torq them on. My started shaking around 65 68, then i bought new tires and the shop told me the spacers were very loose. They torqued them down I can do 80 plus no shake no problems.

I recommend tightening until there is no play in the rubber bushings, and they are slightly compressed. Hope this helps.

yes you can buy just the bushings but you need a press to install them properly. I would recommend to replace the whole arm as if the bushing is worn out then the ball joint is probably worn out also.

The Bushing are rock hard. I recommend buying medium bushings for these trucks.

I do not know. I think you need to contact the seller or maker. Possible bushing or dirt in the line or something.

No they do not come with new bolts for the suspension. They can be purchased directly from the manufacturer.

new shocks will always help , but these jeeps are not known for great handling , i found the best thing to do is slow down ....alot , and make sure they are the right ones in the box's , i did not install them for 4-5 months , when i did , one of them was wrong shock in the right box , because i waited too long i was screwed.....good luck

Tom, the shocks are shorter than your stock shocks. They fit, but the ride will not have the travel of the original shock. So if a much stiffer and easy to bottom out ride is ok, then this is a solution to lower your ride.

All needed hardware for the shocks ie all nuts bolts bushings. That is it my friend

You should look at the rubber boots on the shocks to see if they have rot or holes in them. Recommend replacing shocks and compressor. They sell a kit for less then the dealer wants for one shock

Those are the upper shock mount bushings. They hold the shock in the shock mount plate that bolts to the car body.

Your pistol should already have the bushings installed from the factory. The screws are a direct replacement.

They came with two different size bushings but I have no idea what the sizes were
