What's with everyone and this compliance bushing as of late...?
Should I hop on this bandwagon too?

And I think there are some DIYs about this, especially with like 50 people doing it the past month or two. I haven't gone through it... but I suggest just buying a set. Can't go wrong with a set

Why don't you measure it...just measure directly across it from flat nut surface to flat surface.

I can't imagine a set having such odd interval of numbers, but I suppose you're right about that.

you serious? I removed my lower control arm myself and the nut that goes on top of the compliance bushing is 19mm, I guarantee it. I know for sure because it was the same socket I used to remove my lug nuts.

that compliance bushing bolt is either 17mm or 19mm.
I removed that bolt last week and I definitely had the socket to remove it.
It's one of those two.
