Post subject:  Do I need bushing mount kit for OME strut install
Ok all, I read the lift FAQ, searched the forum and net and can't seem to find the answer. I ordered the 3.5 inch econolift with OME struts and UCA , but the OME box only came with one bushing mount kit bag. I have installed struts/shocks/springs on other cars before but this came with no vehicle specific instructions at all and I don't know if I need to install the bushing/washer kit on the rod of the OME strut for the Liberty. I know the strut assembly top hat kind of has its own integral rubber mount in there and the removed strut (which I think was original) didn't contain any extra rubber bushing/washer on the rod, so I am not sure. Can anyone with experience with this kit help me out? Thanks in advance.

Are you talking about the rubber bushing(s) that fits on the top of the front shock?
You should have 4 total, 2 per shock. You would have washer, bushing, top mount plate, bushing, washer and nut from bottom to top

Ya those I only got one bag with two bushings. So then I do need them I take it? The reason I ask is because the Arb suspension online manual says the 90009 nitrocharger uses oe bushes for the the upper mount bush kit so just trying to figure this out. Does anyone know where I can get another set? I can't find anything anywhere just pretty frustrating as that is the only thing holding me up from finishing this lift.
