Looking for some help regarding your polygraphite strut rod bushings. The old rubber bushings have sleeve with a collar which goes through the large washer into the bushing. PSTs have a single sleeve. If I reuse the large washer, then the strut rod nut is threaded up against the washer which is concaved and doesn't look right. Also this combo is thicker than the old bushing / washer setup which will set the lower control arm to the rear, and out of perpendicular to the pivot shaft. There is a thread on FBBO about this with pictures. The best scenario I can figure out is to replace your one piece sleeve with the old two piece setup so that the nut has some metal to thread up against and maintain the proper thickness of the bushing.
