I'm doing this on my 73, the question I have is the steel liner is about 1/8 longer that the aluminum bushing which lets the front spring eye slide side to side a bit, would it be a good idea to insert a rubber washer/oring on each side to take up the play and still allow movement? or just leave it as is?

What have you guys done?
not meant to hijack just thought the op might have the q after installing too.

Thanks.
