ok so now i am just getting frustrated i have tried freezing the bushings still a no go they wont go in they are still to big for the opening. what would yall recommend for filing down the corners of the opening that is where the bushings are catching

I would say that you could safely chamfer the edge of the opening in the beam.

Easy! I learned that in drafting and again in carpentry ! Basically you are mitering something or giving it a radius if you are "rounding" it rather than "chamfering" it. Let's say that you have an entertainment center and on the farthest part of the front face on either side you want to cut a 45 degree angle eliminating the edge and depending on how you look at it producing two. Here's a picture since I'm not too good at explaining things:

$5.00 says you have F350 bushings. They are bigger in diameter than the F100-F250 bushings. What brand and part # are they?

The only reason I say that, is because countless times I have gotten F350 only chassis parts when going to the parts stores, most specifically any one other than Napa. Sometimes it's obvious, other times it's not.
