P500 Wrong Bushings for WE front shocks

[Hoots346]

Has anyone ever recieved the pack of bushings for the pioneer 500 wrong? All 16 bushings came the same. They fit the rear with just a little filing the rough edge inside off. Then slid over bolt well. I did notice. They still was about 1/8" narrow installed. But bolt bent brackets to contact bushings.
Bushings where to large inside diameter for front bolts. They flipped on the bolt. And I couldn't install my highly anticipated suspension

Well , when you buy cheeeep stuff you get cheeep fitment . WOW ! For as much as they cost I would expect them to be absolutely PERFECT
I would be pissed .
Hope they're worth the cost and the pain in the butt they caused you .

Mine came in correct and fit great. Love the shocks. Call them, I would think they would make it right.

I get my WEs tomorrow hopefully they are gtg.

ETA: I finally got them today after WE delivered them to the wrong address.

I was able to track them down and get them before they walked away. I checked the package over and it did have the correct address marked on them, but it looked liked someone was trying to cut open the box. I told WE and they did not help at all. So much for customer service. Let's see how Elka turns out, I purchased my rear shocks from them.

I just ordered too, spoke to Chris, he promised everything should be fine for the front shocks.

He gave me credit card and 3k limit on upgrades I decide first priority to install )

FIRST mod should be a locker if he's going to be following you!

I don't have locker myself. I prefer to keep diff open when ride in 4w

Why is that your preference? I'm considering a locker and have been reading almost everything I can find about them. What seems to be missing in everything I have come across are negative comments. There must be some cogent reasons NOT to buy one.
Hopefully you can give a balancing opinion.

Well it just easier to steer and I go faster sometimes in 3 or 4 gear or ever 5 th on snowy roads. If I tackle rocky trails 1-2 gear in 4 w then yes to locker.
Basically in winter time I drive 4w all the time , like AWD mode in my Honda Ridgeline, so upgrading with locker will downgrade ability to drive faster and steer with out fear to wear it prematurely or break it.

I might be wrong. I would seek feed back from guys with locker , how fast they go and if they ride 4w most of the time.
