Default A frame bushes

Simple question. When replacing the rear A frame bushes, are they a simple "press fit" or are they also glued in place, with some special adhesive?

Many thanks.

There used to be a lubricant/adhesive to use when fitting these but it's no longer available.

A squirt of WD40 makes pressing them in a bit easier. Provided the A Frame isn't corroded, they aren't going to fall out.

Thanks for that and I kinda thought as much. I vaguely remember reading a post that mentioned some sort of adhesive, but thought that seemed to be a bit of a "belt and braces" approach, given the set up.

Thanks again.
