Searched to no avail. Need to know if my re superflex arms use OE clevlite bushings on the unibody side.

No. There is a 'hump' on the OE bushings that won't fit into the RE arms. I have fitted OE bushings however, just by grinding the metal back a bit and pressing them in with a 10 tonne press.

yes, the supperride bushings are like eight bucks from an RE vendor. Contact any of our sponsors here, I usually use loose-nuts-enterprises.

It depends on how old the arms are,they changed about 4 years ago.The old arms use OEM rubber,the newer ones use an hour-glass poly!
