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!!  |

That's exactly how I did it but clamp the other way and on the shock nut.
