Are you sure you have not fitted tie bar mounting bushes in the arms by mistake? Do you have the part number of the bush you fitted?

This is the eBay item number 181794539706

sounds like the internal diameter of the bushes are too small. Get in contact with the seller and ask what they should be exactly..

you should need to use a press or g clamp etc to put then together I would think..mine came supplied in the arm but would expect them to be a pretty close fit, when fitting them in the arm.

They should be press in tight. I have a bush removal tool i used to fit mine. Shouldnt push in by hand.
