ST bushing kit, front control arm bushing not fitting


Recommended Posts

in the brief instructions that the kit came with, it says that i should NOT remove the metal sleeve that is press fit into the control arms, and that the bushings should fit inside of that (after i've removed all the old rubber) and then the new interior sleeve goes inside that, then the bolt goes through. well the OD of my new bushings is about the same OD (note: not inside, but outside dia.) as the sleeve that is currently press fit into my control arms. should i shave the bushings down so then can fit? (they'd have to be shaved a lot and i don't have a lathe or anything so they probably wont be round when i'm done) or should i take the control arms to a shop and have them press out the metal sleeves that are in there and then just put the new bushings in?

 

anyone else have a problem like this? i have a 77 280z and ordered the full Suspension Techniques bushing kit from summit.
