So do you think its safe to use it like this?? I thought the pin had to be pressed into the lca?

OEM bushings were press fitted shells inside and out. I only pointed out that todays conception is they don't absolutely have to be press fitted to function, plus a close slip fit can benefit the end user.

Yeah. In other words, install nuts finger tight when putting the assemblies into the car. Torque the shaft nut and strut rod nut with the weight of the car on the suspension and the tires on the ground. Per the FSM. (Factory Service Manual)

Hanging around here several years reveals how many owners/D.I.Y.ers don't read or understand whats in a FSM. Some have failed to properly support the OEM type bushing and press it apart too.
So... I'm just guessing/suggesting the bushings in question here are "idiot proofed" by the mfgr. Will install much like upper arm bushings.
