Guys,
John has it correct. I would say we had to pound vs tap during the installation of those upper bushings. The bushings O.D. was right at .75 inch dia. When we got the old ones out we ran a drill and a dremel with a sanding drum on it into the holes. They were very tight getting them in place. I hammered to drivers side in too far. I was very concerned the upper bushing units were not going to go all the way in.
Sid, I didn't understand your question on the first picture in #8 post. Maybe John answered it???
Regards,
Chris and Cheryl
