The bushing look to be too tall, so the nut is not threaded on enough. Here is a not so good pic of an original. I think you can see that the bushing is about equal top and bottom.

I think I have the tall one upside down, there are enough threads after its tightened, and I have a machinist friend who is going to drill it for a cotter pin when I'm ready.
That might work. Just make sure it's safe.

I was going to re-bush mine and even though I'm have a machinists ticket, I decide to just buy a new one, but even then I had to alter the top slot to get the upper bolt in. What junk we pay good money for Eh!.
