Aftermarket Front LCA rear bushing not lining up
Hey All
Sorry for the newb post, been a forum troller for years on many many projects but always found such good how-to I've never actually needed to reach out so..thats cool lol
Trying to fit a "Mevotech" Supreme replacement LCA and when I slot the from bushing in, the rear looks as below..about 4-5mm off...
Tried hammering in the old bolt into the gap (cuz it has that wedge/flare on the end) to maybe get it to line up, but I didn't find success with some pretty hard hammer blows. Not wanting to wreck the bushing I stopped. But not before it flared the frame hole out a touch.
I didn't want to bore out the hole further but I feel like if I want this LCA to fit thats the only option?
I think a better option is just to return it and find an alternative?
I tried heating the old worn one to test softening up the rubber but it didn't seem to do anything.
I've emailed mevotech but this just came up.
I appreciate any suggestions!!
