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

That's not a bad idea, maybe you can size a bit of steel fuel line that'll take up the slack?

The stock bushings have that retaining lip/collar that makes it a PITA to remove the LCA... but it does its job. I'm hoping to find something similar in diameter to just cut to size and slip in. -------------------- taking too long to mod since '09
