The outer edge of one side has torn off
The other side is concaved in and looks like it would cause the edge to shear off on that side as well
I've compared the bushes to the trailing arms and basically the bushes look too narrow
I know powder coating can add a reasonably thick layer to it, and the inside of the tube where the bush fits was not protected and has been coated too but could that be my problem?
Is there a problem with the bushes? They're Meyle bushes bought from VWHeritage and have the right part numbers engraved in them so they should be spot on.
Is there a problem with the trailing arms, are those tubes too wide?
Is it because I've not used the right tool to put them in? I'm not sure what the garage used with the press if anything, he said he had the press up to 20 tons trying to get the second one in and gave up for fear of damaging the arm.
Any help would be really appreciated.
