thank you grippgoat
though of shims first but found out later it was the outer hinge ping (wheel side) that was not totally free it moved but needed little more reaming to get free
also slightly sanded the plastic holder that holds the center rod stopper so it roll better yet no slide sideways.
rebuilding half car again to get everything smooth.
yet another question on sway bars. where supposed to get the bar hold into the arms tie rod, all way in, half, just so the screw holds it? does it really matter?
