A friend pressed in new bushings for me.
I forgot to tell him there is a specific alignment for the bushings.
I'm concerned that trying to push out the new ones to rotate them will ruin them.
But I'm also concerned that leaving them will affect handling or something.

Out of 6 bushings, there is only one aligned correctly. That is the big bushing at the front of one of the trailing arms. The other is spun 90 degrees.

All 4 in the locating rods are off about 70 degrees.

Ugh. What would you do? Leave it for now and just figure on re-doing them again in a couple of years? Would I even notice a problem?
