I have recomemdations for you. First, washers on the bolts for the bushings. Also, get your steering on. It will get really close to that bushing on the lower arm and you may have to switch out to a buttom head allen. Then there's the motor mounts. Is that all that is to them? Something needs to be in there other than horizontal. Maybe your not done yet?
