There has got ot be something else wrong. Are the inner metal sleves tight in the bushing? How about the bolts, are they tight in the hole. For instance do you have a 1/2" bolt in a 5/8" hole? Both of these scenarios can cause extra stress on the bushings.

hmmmm do you have the right size bolt holding them in? if there is any play between the bushing and the bolt i might see this as a problem.

allright guys i whent to a local race shop and they told me to mesure it out buy putting a plumb bob on the rear frame tube where the spare tire used to be and tye a knot and then put the knot on the top of the tube so the string over hanges the bar on the frame towards the back and they said to put one on both sides so you can measure both sides from the rearend to the string ....they said to do it like this because this factory tube is sqaure off of the frame ....the way i measured befor this was from the rear end to the back of the frame and it measured out to be the saim ....well i just mesured it out the way they said to do it and i was out 5/16 to almost 3/8 yea i feel like a moron but i hope this does it the knew bushing will be in wed. so ill post back and let ya know but thanks for all your help
