16 if you include the damper links...... Yes - all the same. Use polyurethane - with a wipe of white grease.

The damper link bushes are physically different to the saloon/traveller spring eye bushes.
The spring eye bush is Pt No: SUS104 and the link bush is SUS703 and two are required for each top link pivot point.

Just a little bit shorter I think - I just trim down spring bushes......usually decent ones that I have taken out of the springs....... Being a Scotsman does mean making certain economies....... :)
