Bought some powerflex black series rear beam bushes for the track car

Got the old ones out and got to installing the polys
Problem being they just look too big 
Measured them up with the vernier and the bushes are 72.5mm as stated on the link and the standard holes is only 69mm
Is this right?? I didn't want to try force them in case I ruined them 

Any ideas?

i had this the other day phone ecp for price on standard ones for mine and he said there was 2 sizes but worked out i had 72mm so guessing he was right and there are 2 must depend on year ?

i have bought poly ones now btw

have you got the old cage/sleeve out too mate?

[golfyste]

Hmmm I was thinking this but the bushes that were in looked different to ones on the how to's
I couldn't see a sleave as such unless I'm being blind haha

The old sleeve is normally so mangled and rusty that it can be hard to see it, I'd be tempted to take another look. You might have to persuade it with a hammer and chisel.

Yeah I think I'm going too as tbh I totally forgot about there being a sleeve 
Will look today
Cheers lads

Did the bushes today
There was no sleeve as the bushes in there the the updated standard bush which has a plastic surround as you can see on this link....

From what I could see on the Internet the size difference is correct so I just forced them in there and all is good
