Front Lower Control ARM bushing install issues
Just bought a set of lower control arm bushing from Sewell Lexus for a 1999 SC300, bushings were bigger and longer there not OEM WTF? from Sewell???, push it bushings in, its so tight i cant fit the metal sleeves into it ( old sleeves got *** up, cant use it anymore). Anybody have experience using bushings without the metal sleeves? Please help

Can you please take a picture of what you're talking about so we can help you? The polyurethane ushings from Sewell are really not OEM. OEM is made out of rubber.
In my experience though, the polyurethane's are really a tight fit. I had to use a mallet to get it all the way in. Same for the metal sleeves. Check my build thread on my sig so you can see the difference if there's any.
