While you have the shift rod disconnected to install this front bushing, we highly recommend inspecting the rear linkage bushings and the shifter base \"onion\" for wear. Always apply a high-quality synthetic grease to the inner diameter of the bushing during installation to ensure smooth, quiet operation.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan style=\"color: rgb(255, 255, 255);\"\u003e251711207E\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan style=\"color: rgb(255, 255, 255);\"\u003eJP-1584-0\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan style=\"color: rgb(255, 255, 255);\"\u003e1131501400\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan style=\"color: rgb(255, 255, 255);\"\u003e711215001\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c!----\u003e","brand":"EMPI INC.","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47373750272287,"sku":"251-711-207E","price":6.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0812\/8797\/1103\/files\/251711207E.webp?v=1717280852","url":"https:\/\/shop.ipconlinestore.com\/products\/41310","provider":"IPC - Import Parts Connection","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
