to answer your question, no, as long as they are a tight fit.

Just what i thought

I dont own a press so they went in after heating the swingarm and freezing the bushings
Hammer and a piece of wood. It worked 😁

that will work. i usually use a long bolt and fender washer or a few and tighten the bolt to press it in if i cant get it int he press (most of the time). did this on my aluminum grom swingarm last year. (had rubber bushings prior)
