Suspension bushings

[Roger Elliott <relliott@cjnetworks.com>]

I am trying to install new suspension poly bushings front and rear on my
80 Spitfire.  It seems as if all of the bushings are just a little to
big to fit into the brackets that they fit into.  I know the only other
time I messed with bushings I ran into the same problem with the rear
axle trunion. It was a standard bushing so I don't think it is due to
the new ones being poly.   Is there a trick for getting them to fit in
easier?

Thanks,
