I'm putting new pin and bushings in the front steering arm. Opened up everything out of the package and slid the bushings over the pin by hand. I had to force them over the pin, the clearance was that tight. I thought to myself that this is likely not going to end well. I drove the lower bushing in place, press fit feels normal. Shaft will barely start in the hole and then gets tight. Arghh!! Now I get to ream them out somehow.
I know I didn't damage the bushing installing it because I used the appropriate flat bushing driver that contacted the entire surface area of the bushing- this is not my first rodeo. The problem is stated on the package that the bushings came in - made in China! And yes, I got the parts from NH.
