MANY MANUFACTURERS dO NOT GET THIS. it is up to you to check. If there not right, don't use them.
I hate to bring up a (really) old post..

Rob, any chance you could go into this a little more? Were you referring to control arm bushings? If so, any chance you have a pic of what it looks like once this is done?

Next weekend I plan to move the lca forward 1" to gain much needed caster and I ordered an energy suspension poly bushing kit. I want to make sure I do it right the first time.
