Superformance Bushings Install

My first guess:
The small ones look like injector rubbers, which surround the injectors, but only 4 and not 8... ?
The dark red ones are for the torsion bars (front & rear)

Not really customer friendly if they can't explain what it's for

 

That "kit" looks like it is only for the rear, and they (wrongly) sent 4 of the red rubber roll bar bushings. The part number 103170 is correct for the rear A-Arm bushings (and a Mondial 3.2 does use 16 of those at the rear) -- could just be two different manufacturers, or different batches, for the visual difference, or some front A-Arm bushings got mislabled. All those parts are shown here in the SPC (the little stuff is for the roll bar drop links - items 18 and 21):

Was the "kit" advertised as being for "front and rear" or "rear only"?

 

1 As you look on their website you can see that they have a set but they also sell each bushing seperate. The 'black' bushings are the hard type while the other are the softer type. I'm not sure where the black ones need to be placed.
2 The 4 bumpers (I assume the red ones) are for your antiroll bar. There should be 2 sets with different internal diameters. It depends on the year the were made. There is a larger diameter anti roll bar and a smaler one. They don't know witch one you have so they provide both. You can toss the other 2 because you won't ever use them.
3 The 4 small rubbers go on to the linkage between the anti roll bar and your suspension. The light grey 'figure 8 piece'
The 2 other small pieces should be the bushings for the shock absorber.
4 No manual here but if you got one , let me know! Or if you have expercience with placing the set on your car I would be glad to hear about it.

hope this helps a bit.

 

Hi, any update or advice you can give us on this job? TIA.

 

So 20 years later, I am installing new bushings in my front and rear control arms (85 Mondial Euro) and bought the standard kit from Superformance. All the front bushings are "yellow" and they went in fine. For the back, eight of the bushings are yellow and eight are black yet they all have the same part number on the bag and all are identical in size. I checked this morning with Superformance and they referenced the photos from their website and indeed, half of the rear bushings are yellow and the other half are black. I asked them for where the black ones should be used and where the yellow ones should be used but have not heard back. Has anyone solved this dilemma in the past 20 years? Thanks in advance for any help you can offer....

 

Just curious if you determined the proper locations for the black rear bushings - I just bought the same set from superformance and they gave me eight yellow and eight black rear bushings. I e-mailed them to ask about where the different colors go, but no response yet. Thanks

 

UPDATE - Superformance was very helpful and responded that the hard (black) bushings go on the outside of the rear A arms (hub side)

 

Other thing...the inner bushings are spot welded, the outer not....

 

thanks - any good ideas on welding the bushings on powder coated arms? I assume a small area of powder coating has to be ground off where the welds go?

Yes, a small dent have to be removed for welding. Just 2 small spots are needed for each bushing.
