installing bushings help!

I think you are speaking about the bushings that are in the top of the axle, that attaches the upper control arms to the rear axle? Right?? Well... a few weeks ago I install new ones, some from energy suspension, and all I did was push them in as hard as i could by hand and then beat them in with a hammer... Worked great! I tried a c-clamp to push them in and that hardly budged it. Just hit it on opsite and go around a circle and do that. Get it? The busing should have a lip, that will fit tight up against the rear axle. Hope that helps!
