 Roger Gibson and Frank Badelson sell them .  I just went through Gibson's catalog and couldn't find them listed. Where did you find them? Gibson Catalog Call Frank in Virginia. Just keep trying him, sometimes he is very busy

a side note concerning the upper control bushing[s], in particular MOOG brand kit #K408. [4pcs for both arms] in the last couple of weeks, i have purchased 3 of these kits, and EACH one was 0.015 OVERSIZE than the stock bushings, and these kits were not the "problem solver" line. the bushing needed for the arms is 1.170 outside diameter, and the ones in these kits were 1.185 outside diameter. just ONE MORE quality issue MOOG seems to not care about, and another one i can add to the list of bad MOOG parts going back 15-20 years i have personally experienced.   i finally found a kit of the same number that was "old stock", and surprise ! it measured the correct 1.170 outside diameter ! the only reason i went back down this rabbit hole, was the guy insisted on MOOG bushings, although i tried my best to persuade him to another brand. bringing this to others attention so you can avoid the frustration................... rant over.........

Okay then, does anyone have the dimensions of the sleeves, ID, OD, thickness?

From an installed factory original:
Inside diameter - interference fit over bushing diameter 1.168", maybe 1.167".
Outside diameter - 1.381".
Length - 5/8"

I guess my question is why? Control arm isn't going to move once installed. The UCA “tube” goes oval during hard maneuvers with out the sleeve.

I usually buy a few extra Sets when I order them , I also install them on Vehicles that do not have them as stock , as a Reinforcement / Improvement .
