I'm getting ready to install poly-bushings on the front suspension. Is okay to put a little chamfer on the edge of the bushing to facilitate the installation?

In other words, any tips/tricks for installing these babies without damage to the bushing? And while I'm at it, is it better assemble the whole front suspension and then install it as an assembly , or do it piece by piece (I know what the book says, but that's not always the best way).

When I used to install the poly bushings..I ran a spiral path down the center of them with a die grinder to keep some grease in them. If you dont..when you slide them onto the control arms they will push 90% of the grease OUT.

I never remove the cross bar for the steering rack or the struts, only the control arms.
