FYI- I had nylon washer against the bulkhead & the bushing flange. Before I added a second layer of plate at the bolt holes to keep the A-arm from ripping out there was some flexing. Now it's very rigid and the bushing takes all the forward/reverse forces.
You almost got the mod right!!!!My intent @ the bulhead is to add another pair of bolt flanges for the Heims to fit in (just like a shock mount).All thread with a sleeve & jam nuts in between the bolt flanges to keep them squared up all the time, this gives the bulkhead 4 points of force resistance instead of just two.Misalignment bushing don't care if it's a bolt shoulder or threads as it rotates in the Heim.This is all in my head and untested- I know with our driving style it'll fail quickly if it isn't right!!! Also I made the spindles 3" longer back when to add wider tires up front -Now my wife will get her WIDE fronts installed!!!
