2G ES Front Lower Control Arm Bushing Problems

[Purple_Demon]

I am doing a full rebuild of my suspension and have come down to the rear lower control arms(not the toe arms). I have the full Energy Suspension kit and have installed all of them, but the control arms dont work...Both control arms have the "taper" outside of the metal sleeve. Both of the control arms have the taper in the same direction. Thus the Energy suspension bushing must be installed a certain way....only one problem. This leaves both control arms identical. It works for the passenger side, but it leaves the drivers side control arm resting against the subframe.

The metal bushing for energy suspension has a taper to it, so only part of the metal bushing will fit. Am I installing this correctly? I followed ES's instructions but it just doesnt make sense to me. This is putting my build on another halt since I cannot seem to find replacement arms at all.


THESE ARE TWO DIFFERENT ARMS PICTURED******
They still wind up being completely identical even though they shouldnt be.

I found the reasoning to my own problem.

When pressing the old oem bushing out, I pressed it out in the direction of the tapered holes on the control arm. This caused the larger end of the bushing to travel through both holes in the control arm, thus opening the last hole to a larger diameter than it should be. This is what causes the "wobble" of the bushing when a new one is installed.

DO NOT PRESS THE OLD BUSHING OUT IN THIS DIRECTION!!!

AS of now I am still trying to figure out a way of fixing this, because if I am not mistaken the control arms are discontinued and no longer available(at least for one side).
