Hi, I had local machine shop press in some new bushings into a rear control arm. When I attempted to install them it appears things don't line up exactly right. With either one of the ends attached (bolt through it), the other is about 1/8-inch off. Is this to be expected? If so, how do I get this sucker back in place? The bushings were Energy Suspensions Polyurethne and are correct for my car (83 TA, 5spd).

Thanks,
TA76

 

When I put my new LCA's in the rear had flexed slightly. I put a pry bar in place and gently persuaded it where should have been.
