Control arm shaft centering tolerances

[Tukn22z]

So i installed new bushings and shafts in my upper control arms and as far as the shafts being centered, one control arm was off .070" and the other was .072" off center. what i did was indicate each shaft hole and used an edge finder and bumped up to the side of the arm. Is this something to be concerned about? I really dont want to take these apart again.

To make sure the measurements are correct... it is .072" as in less than 1/8" correct? Not .72" as in almost 3/4"?

If it is only .072" and .070" you should not worry about it. That's probably a tighter tolerance than 99% of them came with from the factory.
