Re: Lower control arm shaft replacement 70 c10 help

Mine were about the same after torque and install ( with grease on the threads prior to assembly ). One was real tight and the other was much less tight, both centered. This was achieved with BIG pipe wrench and full body weight with cheater.

It's been fine since so I think you're going to be OK. These parts are so rigid and beefy it'd take a real bad install to create a safety issue ( except maybe for the U-bolts--get carried away with the torque there is not a good idea ).
