Exclamation Am i missing a piece?
Just got my Speedsource underhood bushings in the mail and I'm wondering if I am missing a piece. Shouldnt there be 2 of those plastic C-clips?

ps.... on a side note LancerShop.com is worst. Never again.

You can just take bushing to a HW store as well and find a e-clip or p-wing clip (as I call them) to fit. Should only be a couple cents.

This. A good hardware store should have a retaining clip you could use. I would still get on LancerShop to send you the part out though, just in case.

I went with the Buschur underhood shift bushings. Lighter, cheaper, no worries of getting incomplete shipments.

$30, free shipping. Done.

my e-clips were metal, i would rather use the metal clips instead of the plastic ones. i would think over time the plastic would become brittle and break

You want those C-clips to be metal. Thats what most of them are, and what they all should be.
