I just rebuilt the front suspension on the '74 and have found that the ride
height is about 1/2" higher on the right side than the left.  Not a lot, but
noticeable.  I haven't had the front end aligned yet, but the camber seems
about the same (visually), so I don't expect that to have much of an effect.
Is this typical? Should I just buy a spring spacer?

Also I've got some play in the upper steering column.  I can rattle the wheel
back and forth/up and down.  Again the play is minor, but it's as though the
bushings you see in the catalogs are missing or worn.  How hard are these to
replace.  Any tips would be appreciated.
