I never knew rubber can have so much friction! 93 degree heat, after 2 hours had the bush 90% in (still cannot figure what in gods name is keeping it from going in completely). I tried everything! Though was when lowered it may "relax" into place, bolted up the bushing on the back of the bar and as soon as i go to tighten the bracket, bingo front bush starts to push out again, had hose clamp, c-clamps still to no avail. Just before reaching boiling point i decided to call it a day and realizing something else must be going on. After looking and thinking, I think the opposite side of the bar may be pushed in too far (i pushed in farther than normal to assist in getting the bar in place during assembly) and i think this is causing some type of weird binding effect. I have no measurement of how far the bar should seat into the bushing so cannot confirm. Really crazy, took me a few hours to install the whole suspension / steering rack, and I've been screwing with this deal for 4-5 hours now! I am thinking to take apart the left side suspension and start from scratch.
