Default Rear leaf springs

So I got my suspension parts on friday... well most of them. I called fedex about my leafsprings and they say the box was damaged and they are coming monday. Well coolios I guess I can deal with that.

Then they show up with the original box cut and wraped around both ends with a bunch of tape. so instead of being in a box they have pieces of box wraped around in 3 place. Now there is a larger (eye?) hole and a smaller one. I assume the larger one goes twards the front of the car and the smaller holes goes twards the back.

I only have a bushings in the larger hole though. Is this correct? ok or terrible? could they have possible come out on accident? It was from mustangs plus and my previous ones had bushings in both holes.

All is well, the front bushings are the bigger intact ones and smaller empty eyes get shackel bushings which should come with new shackels

Hope the damage didn't knock out the pressed in bushings in the larger eye holes.you should have received an additional 4 bushings (two piece each), that go into the rear eyelit and upper eyelit in the subframe.

Don't feel like an idiot. The idiotic thing would have been to asume all was there and then start the project only to find that you had to weight another week to finish because all was not there
