      I have seen this discussed elsewhere.  My understanding is that the bushings are designed that way, it not that you have received a bad bushing.  The way it was explained to me is that it's the clamping force of the bolt that holds the sleeve tight to the control arm. If the hole is a snug fit, the bolts tend to seize up over time and the oversize sleeve with bumps is designed to prevent the bolt seizing to the sleeve.  The logic is that the size of the hole is irelevant as long as the bolt is tightened properly.

      Hi guys, we’re organizing a Jeeps only event in July (20th - 21st). Tickets are available here https://www.modifiedjeeps.uk/shop/p/jeeps-n-java-campout-summer-2023-e7s79 Hope to see some of you there😃     DETAILED INFO BELOW:    Our first Jeeps ‘n’ Java CampOut was a hit last year and it’s coming back! Both of us are avid coffee lovers and know quite a few of you guys are too. We couldn’t see a better way of bringing two of our favourite things together - Jeeps and coffee. This year the CampOut is extended from one to two days of green laning. The event will take place on July 20th - 21st at Nash Oakland and surrounding areas. Camping available Friday 19th, Saturday 20th and Sunday 21st of July.   What’s the plan you ask? We’re hoping most of you will be able to come to Nash Oakland on Friday afternoon/evening and camp over. Saturday and Sunday are the main event days - starting with a coffee morning at Nash Oakland, around 9.30am, where you will get a chance to meet like minded people, check out each others Jeeps, everyone’s various methods of making trail coffee and just generally have a good time! A couple of hours later we will set off in groups to explore the stunning green lanes of Powys: Water Break Its Neck, Black Yatt and others are on the menu.   EVENT SCHEDULE Friday 19th of July Camping at Nash Oakland Saturday 20th of July Coffee morning Nash Oakland Green laning - Powys area Camping at Nash Oakland Sunday 21st of July Green laning - Powys area Camping at Nash Oakland   Tickets/pricing Jeeps ’n’ Java tickets £30 (one per Jeep) camping to be paid separately to Nash Oakland at £10 per person per night   Important info: We know a lot of Jeepers are passionate about different ways of making a hot brew. We will be interested to check out everyone’s ways of making a hot cuppa! It’s a ‘BYOB’ bring your own beans kinda party, so make sure you have your own water etc. (if you’re really not equipped to make a coffee we will be happy to make a couple of extra coffees in our Jeep).   Nash Oakland is a wild camping style site meaning there is no facilities such as showers or toilet. We will however have a portaloo in our field.   Camping to be paid separately £10 per person per night, payable at the farm house upon arrival (what3words: encounter.skillet.fork)   We will have Jeeps ’n’ Java tees available to buy at the event, and some coffee mugs obviously. Please bring cash with you! Phone service and internet may be limited in this area, so it’s a good idea to download a map with some waypoints just in case. Most of the green lanes we planned for the weekend are scenic and fairly easy going. There will be a couple of bonus lanes for the thrill seekers and more modified Jeeps.   We will be looking for group leaders, if you’re keen drop us a message, there will be a reward.   This is a family friendly event, dogs are also welcome.   If you’re not a happy camper, you’re more than welcome to join us just for the daytime activities (Saturday 20th and Sunday 21st). There is a couple of B&Bs in Presteigne.   Campsite Address: Nash Oakland Wild Camping Nash Court, Presteigne LD8 2LG 01544 262185   What 3 words locations: Farm house to pay for camping - encounter.skillet.fork Jeeps n Java field - treetop.tripods.ringside

      Bought some new axle-end bushes for the upper control arms. Standard OEM things. The bolts are supposed to be 10mm. But, holy moly, are they serious?!  The sleeve is about 12mm and not even round, and has sort of rivet heads inside, so the only contact the bolt has is with these rivet heads, and then it's not exactly snug. No wonder the things wear out and clunk. So I drilled the sleeves out to 13mm, which was the minimum needed to get a smooth bore and found a 13mm bolt (only one so I'll get some new ones) I'll have to drill out the holes in the UCAs from whatever they are now to 13mm, but not a big job. the third pic is the sleeve drilled. The vids and last pic show the 13mm bolt in the 13mm sleeve and the 10mm bolt in the unaltered sleeve.   IMG_2501.MOV IMG_2502.MOV

      To be fair to them , i wondered if 'made in oz' was the issue. I guess they don't face endless wet and worst of all salt. The latter should be banned in my view ! 😬
