trailing arm question

Picked up a set of trailing arms, but when I went to install them, it appears that some parts are missing. The whole in the front side of the arm is WAY to big to only have the bolt going through it, but to small for the stock bushing. And its also not held tight. On the rear, the stock bolt doesnt thread into the arm, and Im not sure if I take out the bushing or not. Am I missing some parts or something? Any help would be appreciated.

You are missing the metal bushings that fit on both sides of the hyme joint.

The other end should pull up tight to the rubber joint the bolt may be too long and bottoming out!
Good luk!

Those looke like Rotary Extreme. As the previous poster said, ou are missing the bushings that came with these. Also, the dust seals on those are worn or damaged.

I'd return them if you have the option.

Yeah I thought I was missing something, but the buyer is a guy I know and he already said he would refund if parts were missing. Thanks for the help guys I really appreciate it!! By the way they are BiState arms

You are missing shoulder bushings. Pegasus has some, though I am not sure of the size that you need:

Dust seals would be good too - they will extend the life of the joints.
