Default Trailing arm bushes

How far will these bushes compress??? I'm worried that the sleeve will be too short

If you’re talking about the center bushing, you’re just flaring the end to hold it in place, not really compressing it.

After assembly and staking they need to be around 2.200 - 2.250 wide, (and file the staked end of the sleeve flat with the washer face)
