Hi All - I bought a set of front control arm strut poly bushings for my 86 740 Turbo from FCP Groton. Trying to install them today and have a couple problems. The bushings are supplied with a steel tube that's about 60 mm long. The original bushings, when placed together, have a length just less than 50 mm. It would appear that the compressed length of the poly bushings will be about 10 mm too long. Also, when I put the new bushings in, with new steel sleeve, the bolt in the end of the lower arm is too short to engage the threads in the end of the arm. I think a longer bolt would work, but I'm still concerned that the length of the bushing from washer to washer will be too long, forcing the control arm (and the whole wheel/strut) forward, altering the wheel alignment. Has anyone tried this successfully?

FYI - original Volvo bushing part number 1359599. FCP Groton poly bushing kit P/N BU06009RE.

Any advice would be greatly appreciated. Also note that my control arm is of the newer vintage with a welded, fixed washer on the rear end of the bushing that doesn't require a separate rear washer.
