      Concern with my PST A-Arm Bushings.

      Long story short: One of my lower A-arm bushings (one for EACH side, so 2 out of 4 are like this) has a larger inside diameter than the other. Two of them (one for each side) have a hole perfect for 7/16" threaded rod, as does every lower a-arm mount hole drilled in the car (G-body Regal) but the other 2 bushings have a larger hole that seems to be for 1/2" threaded rod (which won't go through the respective mounts without drilling). This makes for a "loose" fit since all of the mounting hardware is 7/16". Slight but enough to bother me as I have never done a front suspension before. So here are my questions:

      -Is that 1/16" of extra play going to be harmful/problematic?
      -Is this normal for PST bushings? (Is this just how they make them?)

      Additional info:
      -I no longer have any references because my old mounting hardware has been hacked up and is now gone.
      -The mounting hardware was purchased from a separate company.

      I would have just called PST but they're closed on weekends.



      Thanks in advance.
