    I tried calling the tech line, but they're closed for the day. I looked around on the forum and I didn't see an answer.

    The instructions say that the metal sleeves on your control arm should be moving after everything is torqued down.

    I drilled the holes for the bushing and sleeves, greased everything up, torqued it down and when I test it, the bushing moves on the sleeves. What am I doing wrong here?

    Edit: I have to file down the sleeves a few thousandths to fit looser between the shoulder of the mounting arm and washer

    Never even heard of DJM control arms unless you're on a 5 lug?
