For those of you who have successfully installed poly suspension bushings, did you run into this issue?
 Basically, since this bushing is a two-piece and a steel collar, I think there's an air bubble that won't give when I press in the steel collar. I've tried 3-jaw pullers, c-clamps, a vise, and a press. I can't get this bushing further in than the image shows. Any tips? -------------------- taking too long to mod since '09

I was able to stuff it in by getting it close enough. Didn't bend or deform anything, so I think my work is done. Now doing the same thing to the passenger side. Taking this opportunity to install some TwosRUs endlinks. Also new bearings, ball joints, and outer tie rods. The latter components' boots were torn.
