    I know on my cando arms I had to use washers on the ball joint so the cotter pin would go through the castle nut idk how other arms are. And I used lots of anti seize on the lower conrtol arm bolt

    I bought the same ones from (formally CanDo) KBS Fabrication. I don't know if it's the same with all spindles but I also bought drop spindles and had to find spacers and grind off one side to make the spacers fit. Some advice for anyone else doing this would be to asked them for some extra spacers when buying their arms if you plan on buying drop spindles. The ones that come with the arms are a special item buy and not very common.
