Hi Greg,
The sleeve is usually loose on the pin. The manual says to not tighten the
outer pin support bracket until the vehicle is on the ground and the suspension
fully weighted. I always put a piece of blue or yellow painters tape on
fasteners that aren't torqued or tightened right away as a reminder to go back
to the later.
