Q1: If the shocks you have don't fit in the top holes thru the frame, take those shocks back and get the right ones.

Q2: If you ordered a set of idler arm bushings for a PS idler arm, there should be a long bushing and a short one. The long bushing goes on the longest stud of the idler arm. It will be necessary to press out the old bushings from the idler arm bracket and the end of the center link and press the new bushings in.

Q3: The long stud of the idler arm goes into the idler arm bracket, so the long bushing must be pressed into the idler arm bracket. The short bushing goes into the end of the center link.
