Finally got to do my trail arm bushes in the ute ,but I didn't think that they were this bad,saw that they were starting to split a bit and the 4by was starting to wobble a bit, especially under braking,so did one side, old bushes out a bit hard and new bushes in, bolt up ,cool,now other side old bushes out, a bit more harder and only one bush in about 3/4's in and starts to mushroom on me, sh#t,rang Shane at Suspension Stuff ,where I got bushes from he said to come around and they'll try,about 2 hours later and a another trail arm later ,we think the old one must of had a slight tapper or damage in it to stop the bushes from going in, but any way bushes finally in and bolted up, :armsup: ,next time I think I'll just buy heavy duty after market ones with bushes already in for when I do the Shorty GQ ,a big thanks to Shane and Mat for helping me out ,especially on a Sunday too,hope you still had time to get back to your Jeep

Cheers Mick

nah there still ok. I should have taken a pic of the ones in the kenworth i was driving. Nothing left. Went over the rta pits 2 weeks ago and they missed it. Rta road side inspectors were curious why one diff was offset by an inch so i showed them. They day i put the new rego label on was the day it got a canary.
