Simple Rear Suspension Questions, Wanted to double check my answers.
I am in the process of rebuilding my rear suspension. I searched and just wanted to double check with you all.
#1 I was wondering if the two bushings that attach the hub assembly to the rear control arm are included in the energy suspension master kit. (I think they are not)
#2 one of them seems to pivot easily, is this where the toe eliminator kit is installed?(I think they are installed there)
#3 are there different diameters to the sway bar end links front and rear on an 88?
I would normally just leave the bushings alone but i am going to have the rear end powder coated and install new bushings. if i could get some fast answers it would be highly appreciated.

I was looking through the FSM and let me fix my terminology and answer a couple of my own questions:
#1 Is the bushing on the trailing arm near where the hub attaches included in the Energy Suspension Kit?
#2 I know now that the one that pivots is called a pillow ball and is not included in the kit.
#3 Still need this one answered because there are two different sway bar end link bushings to install based on a vague "larger or smaller" diameter.

#1 they are not
#2 the toe control bushing is at the front of the hub, and it is the one that bolts right into the control arm, whereas the two rear bushings have a bolt and nut through metal bushings in the control arm
#3 if you are referening to the bushing size then yes, there is a small bushing and a large bushing for the rear. the front links have the same size bushings (the small size). i believe the larger end mounts to the control arm and the smaller to the bar, but im not 100% sure. it really only goes on easy one way if i recall
