[QUOTE="YELOSNK, post: 16614547, member: 30747"] As mentioned elsewhere I ended up buying new front lower control arms, but I still wanted poly bushings. After the fun of getting the rubber ones out and cleaning up the shells, I pressed in the smaller of the two bushings using a rubber mallet and then a c-clamp. However, with the bushing pressed in, it appears to have [i]lengthened[/i], a la squeezing a tube except at the end. While outside of the arm the bushing and inner shell were both exactly 3.0", I'd say the bushing is now a 1/4 inch or so longer, which makes it too long to even fit that side of the arm into the k-member. Has anyone else come across this? Any suggestions? [/QUOTE]
