Default Press & ream Kingpin bushings.

I’ve started the pressing & reaming process on new spindles pre kingpin install. In preparing to press bushings & align the grease hole in the bushings with the grease fittings on the spindle forging it appears the grease fittings are +or- .010” centered on the outsides of forgings where the bushing get pressed in. But the bushing grease holes on two of the bushings are significantly off center by .06” to .08”.
Should I drill out the grease holes on those 2 to get more overlap on the grease fitting location? If not & I line up the edges of the bushings with the edges of the forging then 1/3 to 1/2 the grease holes will be off the centerline of the grease fittings not allowing as much grease flow.
