FSA…I have the Global West Upper bushings and offset shafts on my 68 Nova Super Stocker. When I assembled everything, I found it necessary to add a shim between the end of the upper shafts and the back side of the bushing retaining washer. What I used for a shim was a "High Collar" lock washer (used on normally for socket head cap screws). It ended up giving me the appropriate O.D. , I.D. and thickness to make this all function flawlessly. The 4 washers should cost you @ 80 cents. I also used the Detroit Speed bushing setup for the lower control arms and set tension with "Stover Nuts" and Grade 8 cap scews. Hope this works for you…MB.
