I did my pillow bushings today...
And let me tell you, I messed em up! Yes, I know. How do I mess somthing up, that's so simple? Well, all went well until my right upper bushing. Then it went in crooked, and me being a dumbass, was using an impact....let's just say it dug in pretty good. If I file down the "bur" it put in the side, will it affect anything? It's pretty bad. I'm just frustrated.

Hmm. This doesn't answer your question but Max Cooper www.maxcooper.com has a great write-up on "how to" the bushings. Worked flawlessly!

yeaaaah i was doing my pillowballs on my car and messed up bad. actually my dad did, but ill take credit too. it was on the i-arm and we used a hydralic press and a frame...baaaaad idea. if you heat the alum and cool the bushing, they should just about drop in, or tap in easy with a rubber mallot. well we couldnt tell exactly how much pressure was going into the thing and the socket that we had on the backside for the lip pushed through, this also caused the pb to push up in crooked and take quite a gouge from the side. in the end, after tryiing to weld it without a alum welder and jb weld and all kinds of ****, we had to get a new one... 550$ down the toilet.... *sigh*
