Default Godspeed upper control arm install problem

I'm trying to install godspeed upper control arms, they seem to be more narrow and I cant get them to slide in. Anyone else have this issue?

I would try to shave the bushings a bit on one or both sides, that might give you just enough room to slide them in. Also your rubber boot is due for replacement.

I agree, shaving the metal portion of the bushings to odd to get them to fit. Be careful not to damage the rubber portion of the bushing though.

OR...you can contact the seller.
