Lower control arm bushing

Hey guys my 88 Toyota pickup 2wd has a squeakkkkky front suspension so I tore into it and got a bushing kit from Energy Suspension. Every thing looks great but my LCA bushing seems like its a super loose there's side to side and forward play.

When I pushed out the old bushings i don't recall any outer sleeve or anything that would make it a tighter fit. Did I miss something on the install? Is there an outer sleeve?

Thanks, Andrew

The old bushing could have worn out the hole in the control arm. That happened on my old camaro,had to find another control arm.

I still had to press out the old bushing so its not like it wore out the control arm enough to have this much play. Any one know for sure if there is an outer sleeve or not? I called energy suspention about it and they said there is and i think there isnt..

The stock bushings are bonded rubber to inner and outer sleeves. Maybe you are supposed to reuse the outer sleeve?

How do the uppers fit?
