Is this just a dumb question? or know body knows?

I can't answer about the 'correct' way to install the bushings on the shafts since I have no formal GM training.

I can say I install them trying to keep everything as centered as possible & have never had a problem (I've put together front ends on @ least a dozen 64~87 trucks).

Anything more specific you need to know?

I did mine as best as I could and then took it down to the alignment shop and let them do the rest.
