Another trailing arm ?
I've done the search and didn't find an answer. I'm installing rubber bushings and I have the tool to press them in and flare. Got the first one in and compressed the rubber about as tight as I could get it with just a wrench. The washer is bevel side up, but there doesn't seem to be enough of the sleeve sticking through to make a proper flare. How far should the sleeve stick through to get a good flare? Thanks, Dave.

Hi Dave-
If you don't have enough room to flare the sleeve then you do not have the bushing compressed enough. With the washer installed you'll see probably about 1/8" of sleeve from the bottom edge of the beveled washer.
If you look at the washer it has a bevel that the sleeve should be flared into and not stick out past the edge. Make sense? I hope so, maybe someone has a picture handy

Well thanks for the kind offer and replys. I got them both in today with the help of some younger muscle, my son. They look good and now if I can get the spindle in without messing something up. Dave.
