[urq] Old vs. New A-Arm bushings?

[qshipq at aol.com]

 I too heard this wouldn't work.? I did it 5 years ago to my blue 83 (old style control arms, new style C/A bushings), no issue on install, fitment and fit for use,? they are still in the car today.

I think the 'older' style was different, no metal case on the outside  
of the bushing. I just replaced a combination of old and new style on  
my 'early' suspension car with all new style 'metal encased'  
bushings. They seem to press in normally.
