Any tips on how to install plastic A-arm bushings. They seem to be an extremely tight fit. Do I need to press/pound them on?

no, there is not an easy way.....
the proper way is to press them into the "collars", then ream the ID of the bushing to fit onto the a-arm Chris Foley sells them in the Resource area with zerk fittings pre-installed. |
