f.y.i.....it is real important to shorten commerical bronze bushes to match the width of the spring eye each goes into. You want the thrust bearings to work against the steel spring eye and not the bronze bush ends. As a side note if the bushes extend past the eye it can be incredibly hard to get the thrust bearings in.

Using a brass pilot tool to help align and hold everything helps a lot. Here's my drawing for the front spring eye tool to fit original spring pin bolts. This is too long for easy use in the rear.
