Pressing an oversize rubber bushing into a metal tube will always be frustrating. This is why american cars use rubber bushings with inner and outer steel sleeves, to facilitate pressing in of the bushing, and to enable rotation inside the bushing.

Would it be practical to make rubber bushings for older Porsches with this construction?
