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 do have one worry about the poly bushings for the front. The forward bushing (bolt runs parallel to ground) is fine - the steel collar fits the bolt perfectly. However, the rear bushing has a steel collar that is about 1/8" wider (radius) than the bolt. I'm worried that might cause problems down the road. I'm considering making a bung or collar for the bolt to keep it centered within the steel collar of the bushing.
