This is not to fix old worn out stuff. this is just to pro long the life of new stuff. still sounds like u need to buy new bolts and bushings.
I don't see how preventing the bolts from turning is going to prolong the bushing life. The bolts are shouldered and are meant to be somewhat free and not squeeze the bulkhead.
With all that work you did you may have opted to buy and install the Bulkhead Saver kit. Saves the bolts from pulling the bulkhead apart and by design keeps the bolts from turning.

When i installed my new bushings the bolts rotated in the thin bulk head bushings and not in the a arm bushings. so i figure if i can stop the bolts from rotating in the bulk head they won't wear out the bushings. i used my plasma cutter took me an hour or two. no biggy. Some people buy kits. i like building em. i educate myself plus its fun. Been in there for many miles this way and still tight.

I'm not sure how u figure that plate squeezes the bulk head? they bolts are still free to move horizontally. just not rotate. I'm somewhere between 5000-8000 on them now. still tight. we see what they get in the end
