    Lower Arm Bushing (100154) - where are they used?

    Hey, silly question. I'm looking at P/N 100154 (https://store.delorean.com/p-7299-bu...lower-arm.aspx) and the DMCH site says a total of 10 of these are used on the car. I can't figure out where those all are. I know these are used on both the front and rear suspension, on both the upper and lower links in back.

    So to my eye on the parts diagrams, that means there are:
    1x Front Left LCA
    1x Front Right LCA
    1x Rear Left Upper Link
    1x Rear Right Upper Link
    1x Rear Left Lower Link
    1x Rear Right Lower Link

    That's only 6. Where are the other 4?

    There should be two per rear link - inner and outer.

    Hm. I don't see that on the parts diagram https://store.delorean.com/c-354-5-3...uspension.aspx

    Makes sense, but I hate when the diagrams don't bear out the tribal knowledge. Got any pics or anything showing these in action?

    Rear of the car uses eight bushings. Two per upper/lower arm in the rear. The front lower control arms also share this same style bushing making ten used in total. These are different than the upper control arm bushings on the front wishbones.

    OK, fair enough. DMCH's diagrams and site are a little misleading then, as they say "2 of #### used" and not "2 per link per side" or "4 per side" or "8 used"

    Thanks Josh.

    I don't have any DeLorean specific parts on hand that aren't installed, but that is the way the rear links are done on the Esprit.
