Exact same thing happened with my Neuspeed. I did what you just did & it hasn't happened again.

None...stock.
Makes you wonder...why not drill out the stock bushings if they don't need lubing and fussing like the aftermarket poly bushings?

Ding! I've heard that the durameter of the bushing can significantly affect the handling
I have no data or seat time that could back this claim up though.
Happy New Year Ant!
