UCA Problem!
Trying to re-install my upper control arms right now. I had the new bushings pressed in at a shop but they left the little metal things ("ferrules?" in the instructions) out. I did my best pressing those in, but with them in, I can't get the control arm to seat in the frame. The front and back fit on their own, but overall it's about 1 washer-length too long to fit. The UCA fits fine without these metal things. Do I even need to use them? If so, how do I press them in farther or is there a trick to getting them in and the UCA in the frame that I'm missing?
Here's what I'm talking about, the right side has them in and the left side doesn't:
I just checked the other side and it's even farther from fitting. Probably a quarter inch too much space between the two bushings. My first guess would be that the bushings aren't pushed in far enough, but they're pushed in up to the metal ring and can't go any farther... I think you can see in this picture what the gap is I'm talking about.
