Re: What did you do to your truck today!

I tried to put the freshly coated front upper control arms back together with the new cross shafts and bushings. The bushings would bottom out on the shaft before tightening up on the arm, so when installed, the rotation is on the arm threads instead of the greasable shaft threads. Ugh....If I understand these correctly, the bushing should lock down on the control arm. The shaft is centered because the bushings are tight on it, and there is equal gap between the hex ends and the control arm....
