THEN I go to grab the bushings to grease them and the instructions said to grease the 15-16" bushing for the rear.

WELL... one pair had no writing on em and the other said 1 1/8". I said to myself that the 1 1/8 one is probably for the back since its the smaller of the two and that its a typo since there's "no way" they missed up shipping the wrong bushing. after i greased em, i slip on the bushings and they're F'n way toooo big

So i put the old one back again.

Hotchkis FAIL
Man that blows... Hopefully they'll get the situation resolved for you fairly quickly.

I paid 500 for the front, rear, and right skirt and that included some repair and prepping. On a scale of 10, it's about a 7 job. It's definitely not perfect, but it's not horrible. I'm happy with what I got for the price.

Here's a link to pics I snapped after install:

I skipped out of the cruise as well so I can hang out with my daughter, plus it's raining. I saw this cool vid on ourVQ and thought I'd share.
