Bill,

The a-arm pivot bolts are supposed to be tight. Torque is 58 ft lbs. Maybe you got a set of bad bushings????

Doug,

The stock '71 a-arms will not allow the use of a camber lock kit, as there are no shims. One of the vendors (not sure which one) sells a camber lock kit that is .100" thick. You can mill .100" off the upper ball joint and use that vendor's kit. If you mill the .100" off one side of the ball joint (instead of .050" off each side), and install that camber lock kit on the front side of the ball joint, you will have increased the caster by approximately 0.8*. This has been done before.
