Default Replacing front suspension height adjuster bushing

Previous owner cut/removed the bushing. I prefer to have it in there and working on returning car to stock height. Is it sold separately from the spring? How does it get installed? Does the spring have to be removed?

The problem is the height adjuster screw is not a service part. Your only choice is to go aftermarket or find used ones which may be difficult. The install is rather easy but you will need some PB Blaster to soak the old ones loose. Raise to car up on jack stands and place a floor jack or bottle jack under the wheel end of the spring to take the pressure off the adjuster screw and to rain the spring enough to get clearance to remove the old adjuster screw and install the new ones. Note: It is easier if you remove the wheel to gain unrestricted access to the adjustment screw.
