Default Polyurethane Riser Bushings

Ok, so I got my poly bushings (4) today to swap out my original rubber bushings. I noticed that two are rock hard and two are squeezable. Is this a packaging mistake, or is there some sort of unknown concept like, the two softer ones on the bottom and the two hard ones on top? I'm guessing they're all supposed to be hard, right? In case it matters, they're Drag Specialties (quality Taiwan), and yes, I should've known better. No one makes these damn things in USA?

If there is no installation instructions, I know, not difficult installation, but maybe call up Drag Specialties and ask them if they are suppose to be like that.

I bought mine at the dealer HD brand and all seemed to be the same I would call Drag Specialty and ask.

I did the Drag Specialties poly bushings last year. They were all hard and worked great. It sounds like you got the wrong bushings. I would contact them and get them exchanged.

Yep, contacted Drag and they said all four pieces should be the same-HARD! So, now I'm paying postage to send back for something they did. I love online shopping for parts! I hate buying at HD, but there at least I can handle what I'm buying, and if it's wrong then, then it's MY own damn fault!
Anyway, thanks for the help, guys!

They're making you pay for return shipping when it was their mistake?
