Tongue Firmly In Cheek Time!

Should the Metalastic bushing be a loose fit in the eye bore, try the use of Loctite 680 if not too loose for the anaerobic adhesive to work. I have seen correctly applied Loctite 680 require more than twenty tons to press a previously loose bush out of a steel housing.

Reference the broken components shown at the start of this topic, I would suggest loose hardware over many miles of unattended usage. Once the car is back on the road, tighten all suspension hardware after 500 miles, if not before. It will be worth it.
