when i removed the OEM strut there was two different bushings with a metal tube in one with a a metal washer in between. With the tokicos there are two bushings identical to the top part but no lower bushing resemblnig the OEM. maybe im supposed to know to reuse one or am i missing a concept here>thanks AB

oh i know what you are talking about.

ok...you reuse the
-bump stop and plate
-dust cover
-spring mounting rubber
-opt*-reuse the two damper mounting rubbers(upper and lower ones your talking about)

*i reuse them because i dont use spring compressors and they are already worn in and fit. the new ones cause trouble to get the nut on.

hope i helped. btw get a haynes manual. helps alot.
