i bought the energy suspension hyperflex master bushing kit for the 82-92 camaro. i have installed all the other bushings but theese... the kit came with the front a-rm bushings, 4 total, the rear lower control arm bushings, 4 total, panhard bushings, 2 total and 4 dust boots, and these other bushings 2 marked "1037" and 2 marked "1038" with what i beleive is two metal sleeves to connect them and allow for a bolt to run through them. i installed the front a-arm bushings, and the rear panhard/lower crontrol arm bushings but now i have these left over, i really hope some one knows what there for and where they go, because i don't.

i was reading a post about the hyperflex master kit, and i seem to agree with what i read, most people said it's not worth the money, and i have to agree the front a-arm bushings are the only ones you really should buy. i installed the new poly-urethane bushings in the panhard/lower control arms and was satisfied with the bushings , but the factory stamped sheet metal is so flexable i ended up buying tubular control arms/ panhard bar with the urethan bushings, for about the same cost as the whole kit, so wait to get tubular/adjustable rear control arms and panhard bar, just go with the front a-arm bushings, which buy the way tightned up thre front a lot. any how heres some pictures of the mystery bushings, so if anyone knows where they go please tell me! thanks for reading my posts -Scott-

 

That's weird, almost looks like a end link donut, but with a very short sleeve.


You didn't list that you did the end links, so... This them?

Funny you say the front a-arms did the most. I've done all poly except for the front a-arms, and i'm going to do them very soon. Hope it gives the results you say!

 

yes i've also done the endlinks, which are about 1/2 the diameter of theese bushings, with the old a-arm bushings you could easily twist the arms side to side, with the poly bushings they only move up and down like theyre supposed to

 

Those are secondary transmission crossmember bushings. You don't necessarily have a secondary transmission crossmember, though.

 

there we go ....thanks Apeiron, which cars had the secondary transmisision crossmember, my car is and 88, was it maybe used on older camaros? i've taken out the transmission, 700r4,and i have one crossmember, with no bushings applicable, yet another reason not to buy the hyperflex master kit, parts you don't need. thanks again, i kinda thought it might be something extra

 

So it's a Energy Suspension Transmission Crossmember Bushings: ENS-3-1109G - summitracing.com. I too, would like to know what car would use such a bushing?

 

This may help, though I'm not entirely sure there's a definitive answer:

I have brand new, in the bag, GM rubber bushing should anyone be interested (cost and shipping). By the way, torque the poly to spec or you'll experience an unpleasant harmonic sound/vibration.

Adequate answer and that attached picture from your old post really helped explain it, James. Early cars that had a secondary transmission crossmember used it. Generally, these were manual transmission cars.
