John deere 690elc bushing issue

I changed my bucket out the other day and the two bushings fell out of the end. I bought two new ones but they are real easy to go in and out. Should I use lock tight or what?

    The barrel is worn, only way to do it right is to get welded and line-bored. Cheap option is to get oversized bushings that will press in tight but you’ll need to visit an engineering expert to measure and fabricate so you get the tolerances correct.
