Learned this on the Duster, MEASURE the old bushing and the new ones in the kit they are different. If it is larger than the original do a bit of sanding to get the diameter to within 0.0015 of the original or you will regret it. If they go in to tight they collapse the ID and then the shafts bind. Too loose and they may spin in the housing...

Perfect. I only replace the ones that are loose on the shaft...

So I reassembled the parking brake...
