Front Control arm bushings..help

I bought the Energy bushings for my front control arms on my 7. I took them to a shop today to get taken care of. However, I think they screwed up the large one that goes on the rear or the control arm.

When I try to line it up it almost matchs the bolt holes....but not quite.

Is this oriontated wrong?

It looks fine but I remember its a PITA to get it in because the new bushing wont be as compliant as the old one.

Well, problem solved!

All I have to say is Santiago is the man!

I have no idea why I did not think of this. He bolted up the big bushing ( Rear ) first. Then he wiggled and hammered the front mount into the bracket. Done. Took him like 10 minutes.

So, time to finish up this project!
