Ok, so today I did Steeda Sport springs all around, Koni orange front struts, BMR panhard rod, and am working on the rear shocks. When I get everything put together and lower the car, the top rod of the rear Konia shocks moves freely and sticks up very far like there was supposed to be a bushing or something installed somewhere. Do I need to remove the ones on my old shocks somehow? They do not look like they are designed to come off. My new Koni's were just a strut in the box and a plastic sleeve. Nothing else was included in the box? This is a 2010 Mustang GT

At the rear, there should be split bushings to locate the shock's rod in the hole and "washers" to contain the rubber bushing pieces. The shock rod should have a shoulder to support the lower washer. All these pieces should have been supplied, but sometimes they're MIA. Call your supplier.

Attachment pieces from the bottom and working up it should be rod shoulder / washer / bushing piece with the small diameter facing up / car body / bushing piece with the small diameter facing down / washer / nut.

Make sure that the small bushing ends are centered in the hole as you tighten the nut.

I do not believe Koni supplies the rubber bushings with their rear shocks. My STR.T's did not come with any. I pulled the ones off my stockers as they were still in pretty good shape.

They're supposed to, but it seems that at least once in a while a set of shocks will ship without them.

Mine had the new nut and upper washer on both shocks, but no bushings anywhere to be found. I just assumed they didn't supply them.

I used the stock bushings on my SRT.T's, my Sports came with them.
