I used the hydraulic press at my work to press all the bushings out of the rear suspension components... all went well except for one bushing. It came out a little crooked and gouged the inside of the LCA... i smoothed it a little bit but didnt want to take much off... will the new bushing seat in here properly?

 

Are you pressing in new OEM or ES bushings or Spherical?

For oem and spherical just make sure there are no protrusions that you could get caught up on. if its ES, it probably doesnt matter because it is Poly and not steel that is on that surface.

shouldn't be an issue, my lcas had a few nicks in them when i cut mine out, no issues after 20k miles.

 

With poly, it's the metal inner sleeve that spins inside the poly bushing. The poly part shouldn't rotate. You should be fine.
