Default 2002 TXT with not 2002 spindles.....

I have a 2002 TXT per the vin number.
The kingpin stuff was loose so I ordered tubes, flanged bushings and extra thrust washers just in case from B.U.
Of course nothing fits.
The 02 tubes are .250 bigger then the existing tubes and nothing will fit in the spindle whole which is 1.00" ID
I'm thinking I got a pre 01 set of spindles but I also have flanged bronze bushings.
Here are the sizes and a pictures with the parts. after measuring it seems the only thing worn are the flanged bushings.....
Any ideas, part numbers???
Old tube .748 OD
New tube .998 OD
ID's are both .500
After trying again I can barely fit the new tube .998, into the spindle but no way a bushing is going in.
My measuring is showing no wear on the bolt or the old tube. only on the existing bronze bushings.
with OD of .998 and an ID that is all wallowed out.
New on the left, old on the right...

I have run into a 2002 that had the older style rack and pinion . Is you rack and pinion sitting on top of axle or up higher and much larger ? I am betting the older style ?

Also one quick way most of the time is look where your steering tube bolts to floor. Newer models on the TXT have four bolts. Older ones have three.
They take different parts on front axle as you see in the pictures. King pin is much different also.
Pictures are old and newer style

So mine is a conglomeration.
I have confirmed that I have a 4 bolt steering tube bolt (aka 02)
I have a rack that mounts above the axle weldment.
The Spindles are Pre 02 spindles but the bushings look like the attached pic from grainger. Since the tube mic'd to .748 and the bolt is tight too I jsut ordered these bushings from Grainger!!!

Don't know how older spindles could work on the newer steering, the older steering has a tie-rod to each wheel where the newer steering steers from the passenger side and has a drag link to the other wheel... different spindle arms.
