Has anyone got any tips for fitting strongflex rear arb bushes.
Theyre opening the clamps out when fitted so the bolt doesnt line up with the nut :hammer

Proper b*itch for me too. Think what I did was get a slightly longer bolt squeezed in there, then cut that off to get it far enough in.

I used the longer bolt to get it started, then clamped it up, removed the bolt and installed the original bolt.
