UCA Different Size

I am swapping out the UCA's on my 71 Scamp to 73 up UCA's to fix the disk brake conversion issue. The ball joints were the problem. Anyway the passenger side went fine. But the drivers side is about a 1/2" less wide than the 71, does not appear to be bent, looks perfect. I had to back out the bushings to fit, will this be okay? And yes I know the brake line isn't attached.
