My question is about the UCA bushings. The kit came with sleeves that fit in the brackets, and then it looks as though the bushings are supposed to fit in those sleeves. However, my bushings have a lip that is preventing them from going in. I've got to be missing something. I tried throwing the bushings in the freezer and using a ball joint press to get them in, but that didn't work. So, what am I missing?
You can see the lip in this pic:
You can see how far it is going in before being hung up on the lip:
No comments on the welds. Ya, they're ugly, but the penetration was good and the material was clean. First time using a stick welder.
