It should end up tight against the spindle bearing, so make sure everything is clean and seated all the way. That bushing definitely shouldn’t spin when pressed in. Double check the part number and compare it to your old one.
A couple years ago I decided at the last minute to do the LCA bushings and picked up Moog because it was what I could get quickly. They were made in Japan with the Toyota part number on them.
You cannot practically replace the Oings that are leaking - they seal the power steering rack. You can try adding AT-205 to your power steering fluid, which adds plasticizer to the seals and often stops minor leaks. It helped mine.

Very rainy here today, so I got after a few easy jobs I wanted to get done.
07 LX - replaced the factory washer nozzles with the Duralast misting type. Big improvement. Also adjusted the driver side headlight alignment- it was pointed too far right.
00 LC - replaced the UBJ with new SPC...
The conundrum with replacing the water pump and fan bracket while doing the timing belt has to do with labor. Replacing them on their own is probably 80% of the labor to do a timing belt, but zero extra labor if done with the timing belt. In my mind it’s worth replacing them and knowing it’s...
You need to start by lowering the front. You can try starting 1/2” and move in 1/2” increments, but my guess is you’ll find 21.5” is the right spot. If you can, jack up the truck at the frame and measure the hub to fender. You want to have 2.25” droop minimum. On my trucks that gives me 21.5”...
