Got half the rear frame blasted and cleaned. Disassembled and cleaned the springs, removed the worn sleeve bushings. Installing the leaf spring bushings, one set fit in there snug, the other set of springs the bushings dropped right in with no effort, slightly loose, maybe a piece of paper loose. Will this be a problem? Not sure how to get the bushings tighter/ snug around the leaf "eye". If not a problem then I'll leave alone. Be a few years before being able to drive it.

Any suggestions on tightening leaf spring "eye" or add a shim, locktite?
