Finally getting back to rebuilding the suspension on my 63 Avanti. Have run into an issue installing new a-arm bushing/grease seals in both the upper and lower a-arms. Have new bushing/grease seals from Studebaker International but when I go to screw them into the arms they only go a couple of turns then stop. I hesitant to try and force them as I am not sure what the reason for them not going in all the way.
I have go through both the Avanti and Studebaker shop manuals covering the installation a couple of time to be sure I am not missing some key instruction. Does any one have a suggestion of what I am not doing correctly or how to get them to screw all the way in?
