Hello,
I bought brand new spindles and bushings since everything was shot on my 1977 Massey 20C front axle. The spindles mic out at 1.495 and the manual says to ream the bushings to 1.499-1.501"
Is there really that much clearance between the bushings? upwards of .004-.006"? I know grease needs some space but I swear I have have seen multiple videos where guys say there shouldn't be any horizontal movement when checking spindles. Seen other videos where guys struggle with reaming both bushings inline and the spindle is tight and they say it will "wear in"
Thoughts?
