Default anyone have problems w/ bushings on UCA's

has anyone had issues ? i had to take off about 1/16" on each side of the poly bushings to get the uppers in place. even w/ tons of oil and grease they just wouldn't go... i had to thin them up a bit.

i used cheaper proform uppers since i got them really cheap, just curious if thats a problem limited to proform or to thers as well.

i just recently installed some myself, used wd40 and a BFH after about 2 days of finessing it they got to about 1/8 of the bushing left to go and with a crowbar i got the bolt in and tightend it till the bushing was all the way in then untightend and torqed to spec.

it was a BI*** but with all polly bushings in the rear makes it feel alil more agil to me.

just my 2 cents, keep at it, ull get it

I just put in the summit UCAs in and had no problems at all, now getting the bolts to go through the holes while laying my back with a muffler hanging just over head in the dark was not fun.
