Finally getting around to assembling my front suspension. I'm installing new polygraphite bushings and they're starting to piss me off!! (IMG:style_emoticons/default/ar15.gif) (IMG:style_emoticons/default/fighting19.gif) (IMG:style_emoticons/default/headbang.gif) , Are they usually rather tight (hell, I need a press) going on the suspension arm? Or am I doing something wrong here? (IMG:style_emoticons/default/confused24.gif)

I remember one fellow tell me, years ago, to:
1) make sure the holes are clean and round to start with 2) install bushings ( a tight fit ) 3) ream bushings to proper size! (this makes sure it is round afterwards) |
