Clearance between front axle and spindle bushing?

Post by Darrin W »

CCKW front diff.
How much clearance should there be between the front axle outer section and the bushing (part #3659778) that fits into the inside of the front spindle so as to support the axle?
I am not sure if my bushes are worn and if I machine up replacements unsure of the clearance specs for the bush.

Thanks
