Energy Suspension Torque Arm Bushing
I received mine from Summit and attempted to install it today. It only fits in the mount one way and the "W" shape for the torque arm is backwards. The instructions indicate to make sure the part number faces the rear of the car. It simply won't work. I tried to fit it every possible way and I'm convinced it's backwards. Because the cost is only $17 and I'd face at least that shipping it back and forth, I cut it to fit. I can make it work, but it's just not right from the manufacturer. Anyone else have this problem?

I double checked the box and the part# is ENS-3-1112R "Camaro Torque Arm Bushing". Gotta be the right one.....the right box anyway.

*****. Under notes for 1112 it specifies:
Notes Fits bushing with steel lips facing toward the driveshaft.
Missed that one. Didn't know there was a difference. Thanks for the help fellas.

Mine was lips towards. The weird part is that their dosn't seem to be any rhyme or reason to which cars face which way. Must be how they cut or made them at the factory to cause the difference.

I think I'm more upset that I had a 50/50 shot and blew it. Oh well. Some slight modifications and it fits fine.

Re: Energy Suspension Torque Arm Bushing
Does anyone know the part number or have a link to a stock rubber torque arm bushing? Lips away from driveshaft.
