Ya, if you do lots of suspension rebuilding as i do, you have noticed the LCA bushings are now manufactured differently than the older ones.
I have run into the same problems with the new style that you are writing about.
But it's not just Moog, with the name on the box, it's now everyone that you buy from, as the manufacturer of all the bushings is a company named HARRIS that sells them to anyone that puts them in their own box.
I have been trying different methods, techniques, in getting the bushings into the LCA, then the shaft, or putting the shaft into the bushing, then everything into the LCA.
Haven't figured out a good new method though, yet.
But i bought a stock of bushings from a company named Proforged, that are made well, under the old style method, that i like, and install well.
From now on i will buy that brand.
Might want to check them out, the next time you are rebuilding a pair of LCA's.
My two cents worth on the subject.

I knew Moog parts were different. Recently got Sway bar links for my Magnum and they were cast completely different than the set I put on a few years ago (Moog, but also junk, lol) Did not know they boxed another mfgs parts.
