 |
|
Finally getting around to installing the Delrin control arm bushings from the group buy. My rear bushings are NOT holed all the way thru, think I'm a bit 'short' for the bracket and bolts to line up. Did I get the wrong ones? Or, are we suppose to drill these out? (I have a problem with this, finding the correct drill bit, and then, not enlarging the existing hole) Or, they should work fine as-is?

Ah, never mind, forgot I have this nice floor drill press I never use. Used a 3/4" wood bit, and it cut like butter. The last 1/4" of material shouldn't make a difference if it's a bit over-sized. If it does, I'll let you know~!

Perhaps a call to the vendor?

I understand that we are NOT supposed to drill them out, mine are installed that way and are working just fine
