JP,
The new bushings at the fulcrum pin on my TR6 "squished out" a little also at
the correct torque value and the upper wishbone is definitely stiff to move
up & down (which is probably a good thing!). Piggott's book shows them
squished out a tad and my "expert" consultants tell me that I've done it
correctly so it sounds like you're okay.
