My plan was to have Johnny joints ant the axle end of my long arms and weld on bushings at the frame end. Well, with the upper frame brackets that I have from blue torch, when then upper is mounted the arm is not where it should be on the axle. If I put the johnny joint at the frame end I can line the link up where it needs to be on the axle. Will this be a problem if my lower links have the Johnny joint at the axle end and my upper links have the Johnny joint at the frame end?

Did you figure out why bushings are tough on mounts yet?

Yes, but is that a problem if I do that or should all the johnny joints be on the same ends of the links....

The JJ does not care where it lives, so it won't matter.
