Todd could you measure how far the oakie is sticking out .Thinking that the oakie I have is 5 3/4 long so you took out the front bushing that is 1 inch the bushing that is inside the tube is 1 1/2 plus the seal maybe 3/8 inch .the bushing that is still inside should be further down so there should be a space in between lining up the old with the new there should be about 3 inches of space between the two . So looking at this on my desk something don’t add up the oakie looks like it has not even reached were the old bushing is yet .I am going to look at a tube I have to see if anything may help
