Spindle bushings
Robb, I did the center punch trick, it eliminated the slop between the chassis & the bushings. It is a lot tighter now. Thanks much..

Spindle bushings
Ralphy,
The more punches you do, the better the spindle bushing will "stick". Just grease the actual spindle and you should be good for awhile. What also helps is to make sure you have shims on the spindle itself to prevent any up and down motion of the spindle. If there is up and down play, you will work the spindle bushing loose more quickly. If it's shimmed so it's snug but not so tight as to hamper the rotation, you should be good to go for some time. It is something to check.
