powerflex bushing install

im planning on ordering the Powerflex poly bushing kit from outmotoring for my 02 mcs. it says that it includes 4x motor mounts, is the dog bone mount included in that count? how many bushings will i need?

There are three engine mounts:
*Upper engine mount
*Upper trans mount
*Lower torque link big end

All three of these have their own two-piece poly insert, so that's 6 pieces total. Someone also makes a full poly bushing for the lower torque link small end. I don't really see a need as the stock piece is solid rubber, not the flimsy spoked rubber of the rest of the above mount pieces. Get the main 3 pairs and you'll be firmed up enough to vibrate your steering wheel at idle [not joking either].

sounds good, so the big end and the small end or the dog bone are replaced with this kit?
