Don't order bushings from Mitsubishi. Get them from Toyota parts. Ask for bushings for the front shackles of an '83-'85 Toyota 4x4 pickup. There are two sizes (lengths) listed in their parts listing.....one's longer and one's shorter. You'll need 6 of the shorter bushings and two of the longer bushings. I picked up 4 of each, but ended up shortening two of the longer bushings. You'll need these bushings (rather than the Mitsu bushings) because of the size of the shackle bolts. The ID of the Mitsu bushings is way too small and you'll screw 'em up trying to make the ID bigger (don't ask me how I know this <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/frown.gif" alt="" />). The ID of the Toyota bushings are just right.

But that's not all.

Once you have the Toyota bushings you'll still need to trim down the OD on all of them slightly so that they fit into the springs and the shackle mounts. I very carefully used an X-Acto knife, replacing numerous blades during the process, to trim them down to fit.

Lastly, be aware that your pinion angle may not be correct when all is said and done. Mine was angled up too high and I ended up blowing the pinion seal. I had my pinion angle adjusted down with angled shims and now it's just right. Your mileage may vary, however. As I understand it, most folks here who have installed these shackles have not reported issues with their pinion angle.
