Mopar Extended Control Arms - No Bushings?

[Growintoserenity]

Getting ready to install a rubicon take off set onto my sport jeep, bought the extended lower control arms that come with the mopar lift, but they showed up with no bushing. I guess I could just transfer bushings from my current control arms into these, but I have no clue how?

Pictures please. The longer LCA's have a different bushing set up from the stock ones....

Left - the take offs from his rubicon, I’m assuming these are the same as the ones currently on my sport
Right - the extended ones

are you saying it doesn’t need that rubber piece?

They do not. The bushings on the new ones are sealed inside. That is how it's supposed to look.

Ok thank god ? thank you for responding. You saved me so much stress. I searched 3-4 times “lower control arm bushings” and flipped through all 6 pages and nothing so I thought I got a dud

Sorry to throw water on your glee. It looks to me like a rubber piece is missing on your photo of the longer LCA. Mine had it. Can't say if it is needed or not. Maybe a closeup of your longer new LCA - both and both ends.

Yep. It looks like you are good to go. That first pic looked like the rubber was missing. Maybe it was pushed in more than these photos or just the camera angle. I expressed caution because you don't want to have to take these off once you get them on at 190 ft/lbs. They made a big difference in my JLUR.
