I've just finished replacing the rear end on my 1963. As part of this swap, I pressed out the old cross member bushings and replaced them with new reproductions from LI Corvette. That swap out was actually fairly easy. When I got the new rear/cross member up there and in place the new bushings would not fully seat on the frame mounts.. there is about 1/4" of daylight between the cross member and the frame mount seat. I've got the bushing bolts as tight as I dare make them, and I did put some grease on the bushings and mounts before installation.
My question is, will the bushings seat further as I place the car back down on the floor, or should I be doing something else to get those bushings seated all the way?
Thanks!!
