Ichiba Front Camber Kit Help and Components

Hey guys I bought a "new" Ichiba front camber kit... if anybody else has put this kit on, can you help me?

The guy sent three rubber bushings-

Two small ones and a larger one that fits over one of the small ones. The bushings slide on to the bolt.

1. Does anybody know where I can get one of these larger bushings that fit over the smaller ones on the bolt?
2. Do I really need all 4 bushings or can I rig it up different???? (I only have three bushings and I believe the kit comes with four) (Seller left me hangin' )

Picture of all components are below (NOTE: Pictured are only TWO of the rubber bushings sent. I have a total of three rubber bushings. I am missing the one of the larger rubber bushings for the other A Arm. Also pictured is the spacer)



Putting on the smaller bushing:



Putting on the larger bushing:



Putting on the metal spacer:



Putting on the nut:



Am I putting all of these on right? Any help is appreciated...

doesn't look too new to me. I've installed a set of Ichiba front arms and the bushings were already in place, just bolted everything up.

It certainly was NOT new... however I am weighing my options because seller already refunded me $10.00 for bad paint because he didn't package it at all when it was sent.

Anyway I am just looking for answers to my questions above... thanks though.

If your dropped about an inch or more, send them back, as they wont get you back into oem specs.

ya I don't think ichiba will be able to handle your 2"+ lower. SPC or something similar should be able to work
