Question Re: Installing Polish bushings .. ?

Feel a little silly basically answering my own post .. BUT .. .

Want to warn the unsuspecting..

If you have the polish bushings (uninstalled).. give them away.. OR better yet .. throw them away!

I just "finished " installing them.. The worst experience working on a vehicle in my limited .. but somewhat involved history .. at least with this car!

Ground three bolts out yesterday.. to find that the bushing set I got contained 2 wrong bushings! Also, the rear trailing arm bushing is contained in a housing which is part of the knuckle.. So, I decided not to do those.. They were likely to require removing the entire knuckle in order to press out the bushings there! So, I left the old stock bushings on the rear of trailing arm.. and on the outer front lateral arms (no bushes!) .. .

YiKeS!
