If it has a spherical bushing you don't use factory ones. I don't know about ones without spherical bushings.

I just installed my BBK camber/caster plates today. They come with a spacer that fits in the adjustable housing, and new poly-bushings. I've got my car completly disassembled so it was an extremely easy task. Here's a pic...

ok so if they have the spherical top then it doesn't use a bushing. and if it uses a bushing it'll come with it. i been looking at the upr caster camber plates and they use a spherical top.
