Exclamation Swivel pin clearance/tolerance question???

Does anyone know the bushing to swivel pin clearance or tolerance? Can anyone measure a good or new swivel pin so I will know if I need to replace one or both of my s. pins......
both have different dimensions by a small amount, but how much is too much??? New pins are expensive, so I do not want to replace them if not needed.
Thanks in advance!!

Have you tried re-torquing them?? Most people never re-torque them as part of a maintance program. They get loose, then wear prematurely. I have been able to get them to tighten up a bit with a re-torque to spec.
