Don't mean to hack your post, but I am having some issues with my upper control arm bushings.
The bushings will bottom out on the cross shaft before fully seating in the control arms. This allows rotation on the arm threads instead of the greased shaft threads.
I measured the distance between the bushings when bottomed out on the shaft and got a strong 9.5"
I then measured the overall distance on the control arm and got 9.375"
So do I need to pre-load the arm to allow the bushings to seat, or am I doing something wrong.
I thought the hard part was done busting the old bushings loose!!
