I need some advice. I have been trying to install the white plastic rear sway bar bushings that I purchased from PMB into the dop links with zero success. I read all the posts on boiling the bushings and lubricating them generously with dish soap. I followed these and used my bench vise to try to press the bushings into the drop link but the bushings just seem too big and always tear when forced in. The one in the photo that I managed to install is torn in the middle.

I have installed many plastic bushings successfully in the past on my 911 projects, but these bushings just seem to be too big. My 911 experience has taught me that often aftermarket parts do not fit and that it is may be necessary to switch to a different supplier.

Has anyone installed these successfully in the recent past? Which suppliers have bushings that will fit the drop links?
