Hit an issue with one of the rear top arms.....one sides longer bush hole appears to be bigger than the other and so the bush is simy too small in diameter.

Is this normal, or is something else going on?

Rear upper bush is longer but has a smaller bolt dia.
Front upper bush is shorter and has a larger bolt diameter.

Same both sides.

Yes, I know that the two top bushes are different, but the problem I had was the wider top bush was actually two different diameter. 26mm and 27mm.....so somebodies messed with one side in the past. rolleyes

Sorted now with a complete replacement arm.

I misunderstood also. I thought the thread was about infidelity. As you were.
