sloppy a arm mounts

[stomper]

I just replaced the front left bulkhead on my apex. It was a used one. While putting the a arm bulkhead bushings in I noticed that one of them is a bit sloppy. obviously due to worn bushing from the past. What has been done in the past to fix this. I was thinking of machining a new bushing to fit, but the hole is not round and would have to be filed round. Is thee another wat to fix this.

Without pics, it almost sounds like you bought a bad bulk-head. From what I'm reading, you purchased a used bulk-head that already had the bushing worn thru to the bulk-head itself. IMO it's junk and nothing but problems.

You can always tig, grind, piss and mone to make it work but, what's your time worth?
Good luck.

yeah thats what happened. It's not that bad but enough that the bushing is too loose to press in.

Thanks for the replies guys and all the ideas but I won't be needing them. It was a screw up on my part. Upon closer investigation I found that I was test fitting an upper bulkhead bushing (smaller bushing)in the lower bulkhead bushing (Larger bushing)hole. OOPS!!
