Too much of a difference in the measurements. I had them in the freezer for 2 days, and even heated up the arm it' self. No luck. The bushings need to be machined to a smaller diameter.

Oh, the instructions say to measure both the bushing and the hole. Confirm that the new bushing is between 0.001' to 0.003" (0.025mm to 0.76mm) larger than the bore on the arm. If this tolerance is out of spec. Please contact SPL for a replacement busshing.

All of the other bushings that I have replaced. All were within specs. Finally found one that isn't.
