So i got my control arm bushings i ordered from summit they are the energy suspension polyurethane bushings, instructions clearly state to not remove the factory sleeve from the control arm and instead press bushing out of the new sleeve so i did when i go to put in the bushings it just slides right in, is there any way of getting the bushing to expand? I only have this problem with the bigger one of the two the small one fits nice and tight.

 

no, they dont expand, there is something wrong.

 

I was hoping they would magically expand overnight,lol. So now i have to deal with the whole calling summit and sending the stuff back,bummer!!!!

 

Finally got my bushing problem squared up, i called energy suspensions and they told me to disregard the instructions and press out the factory sleeves and press in their sleeve. Sleeves came out pretty easy used a hammer and a punch and commenced the hammering. Pressing in the new sleeve was even easier!!!
