yeah i had a problem, they where a PITA litteraly mine wern't even that bad but i still decided to change them 24 hours later i was driving my car

you probably just cut out the rubber, not realising there is a metal retainer that comes in contact with the metal in the rear controll arm, is a bitch to get out, a recpricating saw and various punches are needed to cut and crush this metal....
