I need help here. I've just burned through 3 of these bushings trying to install them into my drop link. Every time I go to push on in, it cracks and falls apart during install. I don't understand why this is the case. Can someone tell me how to do it? I am absolutely at wits-end with these damn things. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/headbang.gif)
BTW, I just got new ones from AA this time. The 914rubber ones all failed. I'm sure it was me. Please help!!  |

The AA ones could just be 914 Rubber ones, some parts are.
I think I put a small hole in the closed end to allow air and grease to escape and then used a clamp to slowly compress them on, going slowly and readjusting if needed. Heating them in hot water did not work for me. A heat gun while you do this might help. Too hot and they get mushy and collapse. |
