LCA/UCA Bushing Help

[tajvelocity]

*LCA/UCA's are off the truck. I'm refreshing the LCA's with bushings and BJ's before reinstalling. Never done this. UCA's are new.

Question, bear with me: I noticed these round discs/plates with raised lines in them still attached to the stock control arm bushings on one LCA. I didn't transfer them to the DJM LCA's when I lowered it, and I can't locate the other two discs for the other stock LCA. You can see what I'm talking about in the pictures below. What are these for? Am I a dumbass for not transferring them to my DJM arms when I lowered it? Also, what are these called so I can order some new ones? They didn't come with my new bushings.

UCA:

Thanks!

Well, the look to me like spacers or washers so contact parts don't destroy the bushing.
Check with the place you purchased your new LCA's from when you lowered it if you are supposed to reuse them or not.
Most all bushing replacement kits such as energy, reuse all existing hardware.

yea looks like it is so the arm doesnt slide back and forth in the mounts washers or a piece of tubing might do the trick but i dont know if it works without you are good if not time to fix haha

The LCA's aren't new. I'm refreshing them before swapping out the DJM stuff so I can raise it back up. The UCA's are new. Neither lower bushings or UCA's came with these things and I don't know what they are called. I'm thinking I should go to the dealer with one of the old ones and ask them what they are, what they do and if I can buy them. Another thing I'm concerned about is that the old one that I do have doesn't fit in the sleeve if the new LCA bushing.
