Default king pin slop with amazon 6" lift on 89 g2

over the winter i installed this lift kit i bought off amazon.

https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0...?ie=UTF8&psc=1

the new king pin bushings that came with the kit have a larger inside diameter than the factory bushings, therefore causing the kingpins to have a decent amount of slop in them. i finally got some nice weather last weekend so took the cart out and put some miles on it. the front tires have noticeable negative camber and if i push in and out on the top of the tire it moves almost an inch in total. has anyone else installed this lift kit and found a remedy for this? i searched for oversized king pins and bushing kits but i havent found anything. one of the amazon reviews talked about removing the stock bushings and welding them onto the new lower control arms. i am considering doing that to fix the issue but i figured id see if anyone on here has dealt with this. thanks for any help.

hmm... I used this generic kit on my g8 which uses the same arms and the bushings fit well even though they dont show them pictured.. I wonder if they are a different size on my g2 vs my g8..

What’s weird is that it seems the king pins and bushings are the same for basically every Yamaha model. Tried reaching out the to the Amazon seller and they didn’t have an answer. I may take everything back apart and measure the id of the bushings and fry to locate a kingpin that is closer in thickness.
