Do I NEED to make sure they are properly in place or will they just sink in?
btw, the rear end is very tight now

The new bushings are a very tight squeze. Almost to the point were i would need to have some sort of tool to press them in i cant push them in with my hands. Also i never removed the subframe to do this job.
