Default Frustrated with poly bushings on UCA!!



So I put in the new poly bushings after burning out the old ones. Now the eyes on the new polys are too big for the stock bolts. So now I bought new bolts that fit perfect but are too big for the frame! I don't wanna drill bigger holes on the frame 'cause when I get a lift with new adjustable UCA, I don't want to find out the holes are now too big on the frame.
Is it ok to have a little play if I was to use the stock bolts on the new polys??

I bet you don't have the inner sleeves.

Just pick up or make some inner sleeves for the urethane bushings that are the correct OD for the bushings and the correct ID for you stock bolts. Shouldn't be too hard!

Yup. It all came with the inner sleeves which seem too big for the stock bolts. There's a little play with the bolts. I'm kinda lost on what to do.
