Do you belong to a local Model A club? You'll find a world of hands-on help there. When I did mine I took the spindles, new bushings, and new king pins to an old time machine shop. He pressed in the new bushings and honed them to perfect fit. If you go that route, check with others in the club to get a recommendation for a machine shop that knows what they're doing.
