Hi simon

As it happens I have just fitted all of mine.

May I ask if your wishbones have been painted ?
one thing I noticed on mine, it did not take much of a layer of paint to make the bushes too tight .... Had to sand most of the inner sufraces right back.

They will snag & become damaged if not inserted exactly square, my own bushes needed only the lightest tap with a small plastic mallet.

Personally I would avoid the use of lubricant to the bushes but some silicone grease would be usefull when fitting the crush tubes.
These crush tubes will be too tight to turn by hand as they are meant to be a tight fit.

Once the wishbone is fitted, provided you can lift the wishbone up & down without too much resistance they should be fine once bedded in.
