What upgrade did you buy?
I bought the RPM knuckles for my Slayer cuz the old one broke last time the pillow ball popped through. It was pretty simple except for the extra (I thought) parts.
You put the bolt (don't know the tech name) through the knuckle, rubber seal thingy on, snap lock it in place, attach bolt to A-arms (setting the camber close for now) then the "extra parts" go to the backside of those large allen keyed things that go on the outside of the knuckle. (They will hold themselves in place once on the large allen keyed thing), tighten those large allen keyed tinggs down, then check that your suspension still goes up and down, if not, back that large allen keyed thing off till it does. check for play where the knuckle fits to the A-arms. Put the tires on and check the camber + alignment. Remove the tires. Put the stock rubber caps in the large allen keyed things. Replace the tires.
This may sound complicated but you probably only need 1 sentance from it all. (I'm just not good at simplifing):D
 
If you are referring to the delrin bushings they are inserted into the end of the aluminum pillow ball cap.
 
i got the rd racing set of four i broke both on th left side when i hit a speed bump outside my shop playing with suspension settings it accelerated hard to the left i hit brakes but it was too late too much momentum broke the side bumper for the body also
