Polybronze ENDPLAY?

I have quite a lot of side / end play when I test fitted my Elephant Racing spring plate bushings into the car last night. I'm using the spacer washers supplied. The spring plates move in and out freely. As well as up and down.

The side play looks like it could be minimized by not using the spacer washers.

I can see the races when I push the spring plate all the way in, or out. About a 1/4"can be seen. Looks like a lot of dirt can get in there. I assume the torsion bar keeps it from moving in or out. But I can see the conical parts of the races.

Skip the spacers and forego the directions? It just doesn't seem like the suspension should have this spring plate side play.

Got to say that the rest of the assembly is good!

Thanks,
