No that gap between the spring bush eye and "military wrap" second leaf is fine.

Shorten the shackles/re fit standard ones then adjust the steering box play and check everything else.

If the steering box is more worn in the centre of its travel than the ends you have to me careful not to adjust it too far or it will be tight at lock.

:er: what do I you mean it makes a hollow sound?

What did you change/adjust to sort the steering?

All parts on all Sj axles from the knuckle seal outwards are interchangeable, the only bits that are different between models are the shafts, CVs, axle cases and diffs, but depending on the model said me of those can be swapped as well.
