[alfa] Poor quality 105/115 sway bar end link bushings

[Jon Pike <jhpike@xxxxxxx>]

My problem with these has been that the fit of the inner tube of the 
bushing ends up a hair loose on my front swaybar.  I have recieved ones 
that were completly loose,  and currently ones that felt tight,  but 
trying to move them by hand or after a light bump,  and they get loose.

Now I'm not sure that my swaybar isn't somehow slightly smaller than 
most.  It dosen't look worn, looks evenly machined round. My worry is 
that a loose bushing will wear and make matters worse the next time. 
I'm about to resort to an earlier mentioned techniqe of dinging up the 
surface of the bar with a punch,  and slathering JB weld on the joint 
before pressing.  Don't know what removing will be like, or long term 
joint life for that matter.  But I'd really prefer a properly sized 
interference fit.
