    i have a set of fancy red dog bone bushings.
    got them from a friend for free, slightly used. but other than that, idk if they are OEM or aftermarket. i think they're Poly urethane















    so if somebody could identify these that would be awesome. or if they are even worth installing.


    also, i was thinking about installing them tomorrow and i was wondering if the Dog Bone bolts are re-usable or not. i looked them up in my Bentley and on page 10-12 it says "always replace", but on page 40-3 is does not say so.


    i know the Bentley also says "always replace" the axle nut. and i always re-use those with out any problems.

    so if somebody could clear this up for me, it would be greatly appreciated.
    thanks in advance.

    They are aftermarket urethane bushings.

    you "should" always replace stretch bolts and nylok nuts.

    thanks for the confirmation on the bushings, but do you know what Brand they are? are they worth putting in?
    and that doesn't really answer my question about the bolts.

    has anybody re-used the Dog Bone bolts without any problems?
