Long time listener, first time caller.
I just put a whole new front end under my k2500, including an Energy Suspension poly bushing kit. As you can see in my photos the Upper control arm bushings are kind of scrunched to one side. Using silicone grease I was able to push the bushings into the shells by hand, I had a harder time getting the old reused metal innards to go back together nicely.
Is this going to be an issue? I can't hear any of the bushings squeaking while I am driving, but they do make noise if you really push down on the bumper.
I've also done the alignment on this rig myself, and I've been unable to get camber less than 0 or get enough caster for it to drive nice. It doesn't pull to one side or the other going down the road but it takes a lot of steering just to keep it straight going down the freeway (didn't do this before adjusting camber/caster). Is this related?
