Hi Adam!. Sorry if I missed any comment on a thread I started. Yes, this drove me crazy for a month or 2. I tried multiple fixes. The set I received from the PO of my '63 wagon gave them to me. I didnt notice until I pressed them in that the round bushings sleeve was too small. Ordered a few replacements from various places but all the same. Tried to remove the center sleeve and replace with a larger sleeve from my originals but the rubber started to get torn when pressing back in. Finally I noticed that the OD of the sleeve was the same on both, the difference was the thickness of the sleeve wall. (smaller had a thicker wall, larger had a thinner wall. Bought a good 9/16" drill bit and carefully drilled halfway in from both ends. Problem solved. Not sure why I didn't think of that earlier. Rare parts makes the correct sizes but I already had the oval (front) bushings and they would only sell as a set.

Hello, my name is Adam. My name on this site is Merrik66. I had a question which I posted and it involved a 63GP. I’d ordered new lower control arm bushings but the inside metal bushing is smaller in diameter which also uses a smaller diameter bolt which fits loose to the frame. Someone chimed in mentioning you had a similar or the same problem with yours. So I thought I’d reach out. I’ve read drilling them out or pressing them out to press in the “right ones so that I can use the original size bolts (original) for proper fitment. Anyway, any direction or experience would be greatly appreciated. Thanks for any input. -Adam
