I would like to know if I need to use OE lower bushings on my KW between the bottom of the top-hat/shock tower and the supplied washer.

With just the upper bushing, there seems to be a bit of a slack when I compress the shock with my body weight.

 

KW Front:





KW w/ upper bushing. Minus spring and purple spring mount.

 

Yes, you need to use both bushings.

 

Thanks!
