I've drilled a couple of holes through the rubber bushing to weaken it and
then used a C-clamp and large socket to
push it into.
I prefer the uprated rubber bushing. Install = C-clamp, a piece of white
plastic pipe a bit larger than the bushing,
and board to put on the other side of the trailing arm. The pipe helps hold
the bushing in place while the c-clamp
is pushing it through. It does take a few tries to get it through.
Once in they don't elongate, like the poly I tried. Should be good for the
duration.
