Hey guys. Starting to pull apart my suspension for a refresh with Superpro bushes. I've had the kit for a while but never had the time to do it.

Included are washers. Can someone please clarify where all the washers are supposed to go?

I know that there are 2 different sized ones that go under the head of the bolt and nut of the rear outer lower arm on either side but I'm unsure of the others.

Can anyone whom has installed the master kit chime in?

Cheers

I'm not sure about the rear bushes but for the front upper, you use the original thick washers on the outside of the bush as normal and use the superpro thin washers on the inside of the bushes between the bush and the subframe tube.
It is a snug fit but fits OK. Lube the sides of the bushes and washers to reduce possible binding.
Checked lower rears, The superpro supplied washers go on the outside of the bushes, ie the head of the long bolt and the nut. The bushes are adequately retained by the lower hub assembly so no washers required on the inside. Lube the bush sides especially where the washers are.
These washers are important as they retain the bush / stop the possibility of the bush from popping out of the the arms.

The info I'm after! Much appreciated!
