Control Arm Bushing Replacement 200

I replaced the control arm bushings and found:

1.The front passenger side rear control bushing pressed out with ease. The new one slid on easy.

2.The rear bushing bracket slid on to easy and I noticed that the 3 bolt holes seemed to be slotted?

I emailed FCP before buying the front rear control arm bushing since they didn't show a left or right side bushing.They told me they where both the same. But Volvo shows they are different. Anyone have a problem with them sliding on when they should be pressed on?
If not then I guess the bracket could be bad. What do you think?

Control Arm Bushing Replacement 200

Hi,

A while back I bought new brackets from Tasca to press new Boge bushings in and I had to use my shop press. Same thing when I put new bushings in old brackets around the same time. They were tight.

I have read here on the BB that people have had trouble with the fit being too loose, some resorting to tack weld the bushing shell to the bracket.

Do you have any wiggle room for the bushing in the bracket?

Yes, most sites don't have a designated left/right side bushing. Don't worry about that. You can use what they sell on the sites for both sides.

If you mean (wiggle room) that the bushing is loose in the bracket then yes and it is also loose on the shaft.
