Good afternoon all,
I am installing some tubular control arms on my '68 GTO. The new lower arms have front to back slop when installed - i.e. the can move the control arm fore and aft when the two bolts holding it to the frame are tightened. I pulled the center portion of the bushing out and it measures .074" shorter than the bushing in the factory arm.

The factory arm (with energy suspension replacement poly bushings) fits tight into the frame mounting ears and has no slop/fore aft movement.

I'm assuming this slop is not good and I'll need to make up a spacer to fill the gap. I'm not sure I can eliminate it by tightening the two mounting bolts.

Anyone else run into this?

Thanks,
Ryan
