Energy Suspension bushing not sitting in place
I purchased the Energy Suspension bushing kit from Z1 motorsports roughly a year or so ago, and while under the car noticed that the bushing was not sitting properly flat in the control arm.
Has anyone else come across this issue?

Same thing is happening to mine, proper torque and all. I'm replacing them sometime this month.

To follow up, I've reached out to Z1 and Energy Suspension about the issue, waiting to hear back. I may swap these out for the SPL solid bushings
