fromt arm bushing kit on first gen X???

anyone no if the energy suspension front arm bushing kit will work on a first gen awd..im installing my coilovers in a couple of weeks and would like to do all new bushings..i called Z1 motorsports and energy suspension and they both dont no..i was told they will work on a rwd sedan but not sure about awd..the way i see it is..i no the parts are different in the front for the awd but the bushings are probably the same..the bushing kit comes with inner and outter front lower control arm,upper control arm and compression rod

I tried to find the same answer for Whiteline bushings, but nobody knew. I'm starting to think the only way to know for sure is to just buy some and see if they are the same size. If they aren't, hopefully you can return them.

No, I haven't bought them yet. Probably will at some point as I think my front control arms are going to need new ones soon.

why dont you X guys look at part numbers its pretty simple

see if its the same part number for a RWD and an AWD if it isnt then mostlikely it aint gonna fit since its different and dealers have different part numbers for everything
check a website for lets say a control arm
if a sedan coupe and awd sedan all have the same part number then obviously the same bushing

parts of the awd front suspension are different from the rwd sedan or coupe ones..so part numbers wouldnt match up, even though the design of the front suspension is different on the awd from the rwd doesnt mean that the bushings are different..i called the dealer to see if they have part numbers for just the bushing but they dont...ur acting like i didnt do my research

i even called z1motorsports who sells the kit and energy suspension and they arent 100% sure either..they both told me that if they do work for me to call them so they can help future customers with fitment

In for updates. I'm hoping a front bushing overhaul would help with my light vibration at 85+. I've got the lower ball joints that I've been waiting to install, so I'll let you know how that goes...
