The LCA pins/shafts should be the same on both cars whether /6 or V8...

Could there be a sleeve stuck on 1 of the pins ?

Get the pivot shaft that has a grease fitting on it. That you can lube that lower bushing and use a poly lower bushing.

I have heard of 2 different pivot shafts. Difference was in the diameter step spacing and length. Both used the same bushings. I'm not sure if I saved a pic. Was a long time ago.

Yes there are two. Found this out in 1997.

One with an egg shaped shoulder will not accept a poly bushing conversion. But they will both work with stock bushings. The one with the egg shaped shoulder I think is a 1970's piece.

The one in the center is the egg shaped one.
