I now remember why I put grease on the bolt/hole. I had an older car with the metal bushing stuck/rusted on the bolt making them one piece. that saw tooth thing on the side of the (ES) bushing can cut thru the sheet metal mount
(sorry for my terrible english)

I worked it over the weekend and by inserting the front bolt first, I could twist the LCA enough to line up the rear bushing. I could feel a little binding when I moved the LCA to line up for the sway bar and ball joints. Once I get it aligned, we'll see how much friction and torque is on those bushings.

i know that will form eventually. my trailing arm bushings are quite stretched now. I think the tow truck guy did that
