Did you paint the frame first? If you did, you could have gotten paint in the hole causing interference. What about grease? Did you coat the bushing and the hole with it first? The grease does make a difference.
Also, more details and possibly pics, would be a little more helpful.The needs of the many outweigh the needs of the few.

Responded to your other post. There have been a few instances where GW machined a new set of bushings to meet the installers specs. You shouldn't have that hard a time. Can you measure the hole and bushing diameters?

Did you really clean out the bushing hole? It may have some high spots still.

Mine are very snug also but not like this.Take a flapper wheel on a 90 die grinder and clean all the surface area then install........See if that helps?
