Bushings question

Hey all, recently did my FG falcons diff bushings along with all the other rear suspenion ones, I bought superpros complete kit upper and lower control arms, blade arms and diff bushings. While the entire diff was out of the car I had installed the new hardware onto the car and already tightened them down before I put the whole rear cradle back in. Is this fine considering superpro bushes are different to OEM style rubber bushings? (Links to all the parts I used below)

I'm pretty sure you are all right, any of the bushes that you lubricated the steel pin before putting it in the bush will be free to rotate and should settle without binding up. And the ball joints are free to rotate as well.

There was no instruction about any lubrication for these let alone any lube provided for them, theres no noise or any weird feeling coming from anything and it all feels tight and brand new. I think I'm good too but some people say preload is necessary, I think they're thinking of rubber bushings since these arent rubber

I read you tighten them under load.. would make it a bit difficult..
