You need to speak to Powerflex - they should be able to send you a couple of centre sleeves to fit your wishbones. Are your wishbones OE fiat or aftermarket. There are notes in the kit that says its common for non OE wishbones to be a slightly different size to normal.

iirc they should be able to be put on with no need for any hydrolic presses, the kit will fit the oem wishbones but it they are non oem they will need different sleeves. I cant remember which one it the smaller one.

by loose, are they really loose i.e have a large gap between those and the wishbone? they are also supposed to be fitted using a retaining compound so they they do not come off.

personally i dont think 0.5mm is much, if you use a retaining compound that will keep the sleeves in place on the wish bone (dont use thread lock as it will not be strong enough) you will need somthing like Loctite

personally i dont think 0.5mm is much, you're kidding - 0.5mm at the wishbone pivot will transpose into several mm of fore and aft wheel movement and an awful lot of toe variation Someting is definitely wrong - the polybush should be a press fit on the wishbone
