Does anyone know if I can buy new front dana 30 upper control arm bushing outer shells? The kits don't come with one and my axle doesn't have any of the outer metal shells.

Are you getting original style bushings or poly?

Never seen that. You tube installing poly bushings or control ARM bushings. You'll find out.99% sure you don't need em. You can't get em and it wouldn't make sense

I need that sleeve for it to fit other wise it just dangles.

Heres that sleeve I need, can't use this one cause its destroyed.

I took the sleeves off my 2WD front tubes and burned the rubber out of them...burning the rubber out seems to be the best option, there's no easy way to remove the bushing from the sleeve.
