Is this temporary-just waiting on a heim, or did the po expect the bolt through the tube to be enough?
it came with a ceiling fan
Dude, you have to use those rear doors. Then it can be the WHHHAAAMBULANCE! Looks like a good start.
Yea, the po did that just so we could move it. Im going to wait till i have my shocks set right before i get that fixedQuote:

Ok, on the radius arm, the bushing and the middle heim are for the top. The heim is 1/2". Is this going to be too small for the top link?

run bushings at all points except the end that mounts to the frame. It is a waste to run them at other points, rotation isn't possible
they came with the trade and too much of a joo to buy some bushings. will they survive?
they'll wear out. bushings are cheaper than replacement heims.
