If it was harder to get to and remove, I might be more concerned about the zerks, but at this point, the amount of cleaning and polishing and deburring the tabs, sleeves, tubes and bushings, I got them sorted out for now. I closed up the holes and filed them down so that issue is fixed, too.

I don't know about yours, or anyone elses, but my sleeves are .010" longer than the installed bushings in the tubes, so when you tighten the bolt, it clamps on the sleeve, not the bushings, allowing free movement of the arms, and no play in the bolt and sleeve area, as I purposely bought bolts with enough shoulder to match the length of the sleeve to reduce the play in the threaded ends of the bolts from the factory. I also took some time to clearance any interference with the bushings to the bulkhead, as the tabs tend to flex when tightened down, this took some time, but the results are free moving a-arms and little, if any, front to back play in the bushings.
