Trailing arm Bush question

2Hott2Hate · 2nd September 2008, 11:45 AM

Hey guys
i got Nolothane rear trailing arm bushes fitted a few days ago in my ITR
after i got the car i could feel the difference...i have'nt Alligned the car yet due lowering the car soon.
today i felt the car rocking all ova the place . when i took a look under the car i noticed that the washer on the outside of the bush i very tight against the bush..looks like almost penetrating the bush and its buldging on the other side.. On the inside the washer is loose and u can spin it.
this is the case on both left and right sides...is this normal or was it not fitted properly.....thx in advance guys

theyve either been pushed in too far, or not enough
