Energy Suspension front arm bushing kit
 

Hi friends,
i'm Alessandro from Italy ,i recently purchased a Energy Suspension bushing kit for my BRZ, that is the part number 8.3131G, front arm bushings , from a UK Ebay seller, few days ago i received it ,i opened it and reading the instruction i found that a piece was missing:

the part number: 15.02.51.39, that part is the ring around the front bushing, seems not to be in the package, and in the drawing is numbered differently than in the parts list, i had a look in Energy Suspensions official site:

http://www.energysuspensionparts.com/8.3131

the code is right , the other parts are ok, but the bronze ring is missing, how that could be?

i already contacted the seller and he told me the item is the right one ( the plastic package was perfectly sealed );

i emailed Energy Suspensions for 2 week with no results,
anyone that could help?

thanks a lot
Alessandro

no one can help? :(

I have no idea if this is right but could it be that you reuse the stock one?

thank you for your answer :)
i still didn't have the occasion ( and the tool ) to pull out the stock one, i was looking for someone that already did it , to know if the kit is actually missing a piece or not...
i found strange that in 3 weeks , i had no answers from energy suspensions ( it's only a mail for info )...

i tried to pull out the stock ones but with no success, i compared them and i think that without sleeves i cannot mount them:

that part missing is listed even in those instructions:

after 1 month still no response from Energy Suspensions...

i'm very angry of that, i'll try to get my money back and go for another brand for bushings... :mad0259::mad0260:

yep, you need the bronze part. since your IP address is overseas, it might go into the junk/spam folder on their end.





try the live chat thing and direct them to this thread.

a miracle happens!!!!

but still i have to open the wallet... :(
i think i'll try to fabricate by myself before... :iono:

Really?! Their product was defective and you have to pay ?

it seems the uk seller is willing to pay the shipping costs for me ( if not i can leave a bad feedback on ebay :thumbdown: )

however it's strange that is missing that piece...
