Default Problem Solved.....no lathe needed

I recieved the Weltmeister poly a-arm bushings from Pelican this afternoon. NO OD trimming needed to fit into the housing!! I could push them in by hand with a decent amount of friction, but not nearly enough to deform the ID. I tried fitting the Elephant Brass and those were a bit too loose, obvious play in the housing....cling, cling, cling. Have not had a chance to check ID...see below

Mabye Weltmeister has changed their dimensions, improved their manufacuring process, or all 4 of my housings expanded some how....mabye as the Elephant bushings were loose?

Stopped by ASCO to pick up all my suspension bits, but they forgot to clear-coat the cross member and they coated the a-arm bushing surface, so I had to leave those for them to fix. The parts I did get to inspect looked very nice, 100% satisfied. They will get the a-arms and the crossmsmber done for me on Monday and someone will meet me Tuesday morning in front of the store (they are closed) to hand off my parts. How cool is that.
