Hi Guys,
hoping someone can help, just pressed out my 20 plus year old bushings on my upper control arms and it seems one of the ends is too wide. The new bushing simply pushes in and out the other end with hand pressure. I verified I have the right bushing part #'s and that end is the only one that is too loose, the others look like the bushings will press in just fine.
I am looking for any options on how to tighten up that one end so that the bushings sits as it should. My first thought was to weld in some metal inside the seating area and grind it down to give it some more meat.
If anyone has any opinions I would appreciate it. I gotta get this truck on the road my thursday.
