I don't have direct experience of this kit but from your description, are you sure that you have been supplied with the correct springs ? They sound way too long or too heavy duty. Did you check the

Two thoughts: 1) I have heard the a-arm bushing bolts should not be fully tightened until the suspension to loaded(car sitting level on the ground). This put the bushing at about its midpoint of trav

Should there be a washer under the castle nut on top of the king pin? My Sprite has a bronze washer on one side and no washer on the other. The king pins are not drilled for cotter pins either. Also

You have aftermarket king pins that use a nyloc nut inplace of the castle nut/cotter pin. There should be a thick bronze washer under EACH trunion. There may also be small thin washers (shims) at the
