So I ordered a replacement set of leaf spring for my 99 Cherokee . One is perfect the other the bushing on the bigger end I can push out and put back in. Did I get the wrong bushing and will it cause me problems ?

are these factory style bushings that need to pressed in?
Or are these 2 piece poly bushings? Either way if it's a pressed in style it shouldn't have any give in it. the two piece style should take a few taps with a mallet to sit each side.

I believe that the bushing sizes might be different front to rear, but would need confirmation on that one. If you ordered two identical bushings and my suspicions are correct that's at least one possibility.
