the two half round bushings get sandwiched together where you were trying to put them in the pic, as for the other one it goes on the other end of the torsion strut where it attached to the frame. you need to burn the old bushing off and press that one on.

So I should take it to a shop and have it pressed in or is there. Way I could do it myself?

Have a shop do it. While the bushing goes into the arm easy enough, with the bar that goes through the middle makes it a bit of a bitch to do.

Ok a little confused on were exactly the trailing arm bushings go...
But ne ways..... Coilovers
I haven't changed or messed with my coilovers since I put them on... As I took off the one sized I realized that the front right was different height then the front left. So I did some measuring. And wasn't sure bout some things.
~ first off for best ride are the springs supposed to be uncompressed with no load on them? Cuz one side was tightened where it was compressed with no load..
Next is can anyone show me there adjustment levels where the spring is supposed to b?

But after I did some adjusting here are my Mesurements...
From bottom of sleeve to bottom of threaded part

Top of spring plate to bottom of the second spring stopper thing.

Bottom of Spring stopper to top of sleeve

the first two are right. I cant tell what bushing you have in the third pic but it does not look right. From looking at your very first post I dont even see the LCA bushings in that pic.

This is what you would need for your LCA. http://www.modernperformance.com/protha ... -1618.html

Yes how you are holding it is how it goes together only you still need to push it all together and put the metal sleeve in.
I'm telling you right now, unless you have a press (not a vice) you will never get it together. You will want to slit your wrists by the time it's over.

god you're going to HATE installing those LCA bushings dude...

that donut that goes in the middle is hard as hell and has to be INSIDE the LCA otherwise the whole assembly wont go back into the car...

next time.........use Prothane's...
