Think only the first ipd batch of poly inserts had a fourth one that was different, everyone else since who have made them they are all identical. If it didn't go fully home probably partially collapsed bush, dirt in there or you it broke up and blocked itself upon pressing it in? First one I did that and broke up, had to prise the bits out and get another set.

Have added inserts to the 2 front bushes now.
One of them was oval and the insert fitted into that in the same way as into the round bushes.

Having had chance to get back under it and have a look (managed to put my back out day of first post!!) It appears that there are only two locating pins on the chassis both on the left side! So having looked at it I'd say oval is probably many to go for and aft.
Will hopefully get it back in later today, once I've fitted the new antiroll bar to the subframe.

Think you've misunderstood when I was saying I couldn't get the bush in I meant couldn't get the new subframe bush to sit up into the subframe, not struggled to get the inserts into the bush, that bit was easy.
Hopefully with the upgrades fitted and 4 wheel aligned it might stop trying to throw me into a ditch every five seconds!!
At least I hope it will....

Had already fitted my bushes to the subframe by that point I took a punt and put it in at 45 degrees so it should go on fine. I hope 😄
