A-arm collars are tight after bushing replacement, ok?

[sethryder]

Hey there,
After installing ulmer a-arm bushings the collars (long tubes inside arms) on my upper a-arm were such a tight fit in the new bushings that i had to tap them in with a mallet. Now the collars i doubt will rotate inside the a-arms so the a-arm movement will be the collars rotating on the a-arm bolts themselves (make sense?) That seem fine or is there something further i need to do?
Thanks,
Seth

I just did the same bushing kit in my nitro and had to tap in some of the collars too.....its all good... great fit...

Same with mine, had to tap it in with a mallet. they wear in quick and after 4000 miles still have an almost perfect fit.
