i just installed upr adjustable lower control arms with spherical bushings. The spherical bushing parts has a lot more play where the bolt would go through as compared to the stock control arms. Because of the play, everytime i shift the control arm is hitting the bolt over and over again, tugging on it. I was just curious if there is a sleeve that could tkae away some of the play or if they are not fully adjusted rite now??? thanks in advance.

You do have the sleeves/spacers that attach to each side of the spherical end correct?

This is a picture of a upper arm but they use the same style sleeve/spacer.

How do you like the LCA? I have a slight rear sag on my 85gt. I have ford c springs all around and dont wanna go staock in there again. I was thinking of the adjustable lowers to crank it up a bit to level off my stang. Did these work for ya? Thanks
