Reply to "Upright Install"

Part of the trick is shown in Rocky's photo of the components with their thicknesses marked on them.

You may find that your vendors parts are not the same thickness as what you removed. The overall dimension of the 'stacked' parts must be a tight fit between the eyes in the A arm. Referring to Rocky's photo of the Wilkinson parts sheet, that would be items  12 (cups), 13 (stepped washers), 17 (shim washers) and 19 (the sleeve). A tight fit will pinch the sleeve when the through bolt is tightened and keep it stationary. These parts can be test fitted between the A arm eyes without the heavy upright or the O rings in place.

A sloppy fit may allow the sleeve to rotate on the shaft instead of in your nice new bushings.
