Put the new AJE bushings in the A-arms tonight, fought with this thing for hours. The new bushing flanges are 1/8" or so thicker. Add this up between 4 bushings on each side and guess what, the A-Arm did not wanna go in. I could trim to fit but you know what, f-that.
I tried one old bushing and one new, the A-Arm went in but a gap still exsisted. This gap I questioned AJE about numerous times and they say it is fine. I don't like it at all. There is a gap between the bushing and kmemever, but the steel sleeve that is inside the bushing does mate up with kmember. This is normal for their older kmembers they said.
Long story short my Kmemeber and A-Arms will be forsale for a steal, with new A-Arm bushings and I am going a diff route.
UGHHHHHHHHHHHH always something, I am super pist right now.
Before
Bushing broken, huge gaps
Bushing diff, flange is MUCH thicker
In A-arm, no chance of going in kmember this way unless i destroy bushing, tons of binding or buzz the flange down so ti will go
One old one new bushing so the A-arm would install. Still a bear to get in, and gap stiff exsist. If this is normal, which they claim this is not the kmemeber for me
K-Member and A-arms for sale for 350$ (1/2 price) if anyone is insterested. You can call AJE and confirm the gaps are normal. I just do not want this on my car.
