Skip,
Tried to install control arm bushings over the weekend. I had to press (with some force!) the new bushings into my New Steel arms and they seems too large around the bolt.
I have pictures below. The black bushing is one of the old poly bushing that did NOT fail on the car.

I have race this weekend and want to be sure I have the right bushings.......

Thanks, Al P.
Yep.. they were the wrong ones.
Confered with Jason at Paragon. Apparently Weltmeister mis-labled these. <img src="graemlins/c.gif" border="0" alt="[ouch]" />

Thanks Jason & Skip! <img src="graemlins/bigok.gif" border="0" alt="[thumbsup]" />

Bummer - sorry for the confusion and packaging problems. I keep waiting for a finger to show up in one of those vacuum-sealed Weltmeister packages
Just remember - if you're not up until 2am the Friday before a race weekend prepping the car, you're not trying hard enough! <img src="graemlins/c.gif" border="0" alt="[ouch]" /> <img src="graemlins/crying.gif" border="0" alt="[crying]" /> <img src="graemlins/oops.gif" border="0" alt="[oops]" /> <img src="graemlins/sleep.gif" border="0" alt="[sleep]" />
Good luck this weekend! <img src="graemlins/bigok.gif" border="0" alt="[thumbsup]" />

A Bushing change is not really that hard. Figure 20 min per side so an hour total including trailer load-up time and such should mean that I will not need to stay-up to 2am.. Of course I need the parts to do that. Supposed to be here Today!
