Default Question on restoring Stock Upper Control Arms

I'm in the process of pressing the bushings but had a question on the shaft. Is there a certain way these are supposed to be installed? I noticed a slight discrepancy in size as you can see from the pics and I'm just trying to make sure I don't botch the install. I'm trying to return this press tool and it's quite the drive so I don't want to head back if I mess this up. Does it even matter? The car is at my sister's and I'm using tubular arms so I have nothing to compare them to.

Does not matter. The manufacturing of most parts were not made to perfection.

I would say what is important is the distance from the tip to the mounting hole on the shaft. I marked mine for L/R, front/ rear and top/bottom but did not paid attention to the way it was made. They are not reinstalled yet and will have a look.
