Are they installed correctly? Bushings (pics)

[AudioFan]

I went to a shop to install my ES bushing kit, they had some problems figuring it out.

Or maybe they sent wrong parts, don't think so, but here are some pics

I think the control arms are backwards??









Also they said that this part were not for my application

The bushing has number 5536 imprinted


This ones are 5535 14 mm


This don't say anything, were do they go????


The kit did not came with any instructions, just one sheet, with a number, that on ES website is listed for the neon (not srt4)

I have hotchkiss sways, maybe that's why I don't need some bushings, or they don't fit?


Sorry I uploaded the thumbs instead of the pics, I'll fix that later

Thanks for the help

No they are in upside down. Also for the sways they just put the bars in and didnt put the hardware in. I would find a different shop. Any shop that couldnt take the time to figure out how to correctly install something isnt worth spending my money at.

so they are upside down? thanks I'll have them changed

The sways I already had them installed before, is it worth to put the new bushing in?

There are not many shops here that would do it, And I already paid for that, So they will have to fix it

Thanks

Yes it is worth it to have the sway bar bushings put in. Besides the new sways are bigger than the stock so I honestly dont know how they used the stock bushings.

with these bushings installed do you notice a big difference in the ride/handling/etc. ?

No, what I wanted to say, I installed the hotchkiss sways almost a year ago, and used the bushings and hardware that comes with the HK kit.

So I think those are better bushings than stock (not sure if they are urethane)

So if the ES kit comes with bushings for the stock sways, then it is correct that I won't be able to use the sways bushings, since the bars that I have are Bigger?

I haven't really tested very good, because I think the install is not correct, when I get that fixed I'll let you know, But I did notice some improvement (maybe placebo efect) and when they did it, I also changed the rear sway from Street to Race, so maybe that's where I'm getting the big difference
