Sometimes they twist when the grease dries out in the bore, too. Always keep them well greased.

There is enough good in the worst of us and enough bad in the best of us that it does not behoove any of us to criticize the rest of us.

Make sure the lube hole in the bushing is in line with the grease nipple hole when installing the new bushings . I dont think you should have to ream the bushings either / just what year is the truck ? | | |
