Just a quicky,

How much space should there be between the shaft end and the bushing end of the a-arms. Should bushings be shortened. I have a set of energy suspension poly bushings. I think there is a bout less then half an inch.
 
my bushings are visible although I think its less then 1/2" visible. you do need to lubricate these when you put them in and use lock tite on the bolts that hold them in. the bolts will "walk out" and you need to watch these. some guys paint marking dots on them for a quick visual reference to see if they are loosening up.
 
I'm not talking about the bushing only. I'm talking about the inner metal "tube" of the bushing and the end of the metal shaft. Is it correct that there is a cavity?
 
Yes, it's normal the bushings and the inner sleeve are longer than the shaft ends.
