A long time ago I ordered some leaf spring bushings for an old X I had. I believe I ordered a couple different kits to upgrade to poly in the leafs and to replace the frame bushings as well. At the time I only installed the leaf bushings and moved on. I scrapped that X and bought another but saved the leafs. I still have this bushing kit that I never used before which I believe include the frame bushings. Im gonna be installing my old leafs on my new X and I need to replace the frame bushings. Can anyone confirm that I have the right kit for the frame bushings. The energy suspension part number I have is 4.2124 which shows to be for a first gen X, but if i remember the frame bushings are the same between first and second gens, correct?
If that is the correct kit, am I correct that to install the frame bushings, I’ll burn out the old rubber but leave the outer sleeve in the frame and install the poly bushings right into the old sleeve?
