Does the new energy suspension bushings go in tighter

than the original ones

Looks like they're in; what else matters? What are you REALLY wanting to know?

Are you having problems getting them into the K-member? Is that what you are worried about? You can pry the ears out a bit if you need to. They were probably pinched in some when they were originally installed. Tightening the bolts will pull them back in where they need to be once the A-arm is in place.

Think for the answer but they are in the k memeber now
