100% CORRECT. These 2 pieces are very important.

The two small horse shoe shaped pieces measure as follows:
1/8" thick steel stock
4" long
25/32" wide
wrapped around a 1-11/16" OD socket to form a horse shoe shape.
They were originally tied to the center bar via small chains to prevent loss and aid in use.

Did you powder coat those? I'm thinking of powder coating my control arms and am concerned with the thickness of the powder causing a problem with pressing the bushing sleeve in. I've been thinking about the best way to mask that off, but perhaps I won't have to.

Here is all I used, and it worked well... Tke an 1 1/4 threaded pipe coupling and it fits around the bushing perfectly, also buy a end cap, and tap them in with a hammer, pound them home evenly
