Anyone with Whiteline Bushings

Just received my Whiteline front control arm bushings. Based on what I've read and the pictures I've seen of the Whiteline product, these bushings don't look right. I'm looking for feedback from someone who might know for sure. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

1.) The bushings have a golden color (product number on packaging is correct W0593)


2.) The metal seems thin


3.) The ends are not serrated


Here's what they should look like.

I'd had these and my suspension mechanic refused to fit them as they were loose fitting + the crush tubes were too thin (poorly engineered in his books). If you look at the OEM ones and/or compare the pics you posted you'll easily see what I mean. Return them and get your $$ back, that's what I did. Buy another brand - they're not fakes just a poorly made item.

I checked with Whiteline and you're right, these bushings are legit Whiteline products. Guess I'm a little surprised, Whiteline has a reputation for making quality parts. Maybe the bottom line is taking its toll.
