apply a little oil or lube to the bushings before instalation(too late heh) they are probably dry that is why they are squishing.
i dont know if that is the problem but they said that on an episode of trucks i saw sunday heh, if you dont lubricate em they will make a squishy sound.
they look fine to me.

yeah, you squished them a little much, but you'll be okay if you just back the nut off a bit..
if you still have any of that white grease that came with the kit, squeeze some of that on all the bushings again. if you don't have any, just any really heavy grease will work. the thicker, the beter.

Thank you all for the info. I will un tighten them intill there is no bulge and white lithium grease them as much as possible. I did use the clear greas they gave me with the set but it seemed sticky as ****. I will attemped the rear one again this thursday.

mine are actually tightened all the way to the end of the threads. so i can't tighten it anymore. yours look like mine do. i've never had a problem with noise. good luck though. Oh, when you do the back, be careful with the 2 main bolts on each side. i broke one on each side and ended up having to drill them out. it wasn't fun! anyway, let me know if you have any problems. i've got both as well you'll love em! best mod i've done so far. ..
