Front Upper Control Arm Bushings 140-160 1970

posted by  someone claiming to be Thom on  Sun Dec 30 01:37 CST 2001 [RELATED]

Bought new front bushings from IPD. The new relay arm bush and lower control arm bushings seem OK. The outside diameter of the new bushings are .019" larger than the hole in the "A" arm. The machinist pressing the new bushes thinks the new uppers are too tight and may damage the control arm during installation. He thought .003" would proper but is not familiar with VOLVO specs. The new bushes cannot even be started in the receiving hole of the upper "A" arm. Does anyone know if this is normal? Thanks
