    1960 Front suspension rebuild help.

    I have been rebuilding my front suspension and following Tom Parsons post on how to do it..

    I have two questions about how much play is acceptable when putting things together.

    I am attempting to assemble the front spindles to the supports. My first task was to install the new bushings to the supports and i noticed what might be a lot of play as i can hand tighten them all the way till seated. Until the last few threads i can wiggle the bushing and hear it rattling.. is this a problem or is it ok once everything is tightened up?

    My second question is on the lower a arms, i can thread by hand three of the four welded nuts on the outer shafts.

    Is this acceptable or do i need to replace the lower a arms?

    I haven't been able to try the upper a arms yet as the new parts are still on back order.

    I had taken a video but haven't been successful to figure how to upload them.

    Appreciate any help.
