Reply to "Removing the A arm bushings"

jfb05177Member

I was pleasantly surprised at the ease of the process,

I have removed the bushings from the front A-Arms and have found their ODs
to be a consistent 1.184". the A-arm bore IDs varied slightly around
1.181". this makes sense as the IDs would be 30mm with the bushings
oversized for MY expected press fit of ~ 0.003".

NOW, the new bushing ODs vary around 1.189". to ME, that is way too much
press and could plastic yield the A-arm bores.

QUESTION

Is it expected to machine the new bushing ODs?
(Pretty common practice for new parts to be oversized for field fitting in the machines I use to work to allow for possible damage/wear.)

OR

Throw away the micrometers and get a bigger press?
