Question about installing poly trailing arm bushings.

[dznucks]

When I installed new poly busings in my trailing arms, I was not able to get the smaller poly ring to fit into the crossmember fitting with the rest of the trailing arm and bushing.

The bushing were pressed all the way into the sleeve and the sleeve was fully seated in the arm. I am using a new CPP x-member. The trailing arm barely fit into the x-member mounts without the ring. There was no way to force it in. Has anyone else had this problem or did i do something wrong?
