Shouldn’t, free play is usually removed by changing out shims. Different shim sizes are listed in the IPC and available from LASAR or your favorite MSC.
LASAR also used to rebuild them like new as well.

Lasar has a press in bushing kit that tightens everything up

So, it seems as though Lasar no longer has the STC for the bushing kit and can only sell the bushing to individuals that currently have the STC, which is my situation, when the bushing was installed, it doesn't appear as though they used the reamer and beat it in with a hammer, found it when we removed the gear to send the truss off to be repaired..

Just to clarify-  are you talking about the BIG vertical bushing that the steering turns around on or the monkey motion

linkage at the top of the wheel well?

If its the BIG one this is a place that is missed on virtually every annual as it is required to retorque this bolt assembly every 

annual AND the torque has been reduced from the original value by a Service Bulletin  It can take lots of grease every year also.

Yes Sir, that's the one..and you are right about it being missed, there is another mooney owner that was unaware of the requirement to recheck the revised to setting annually
