So, I just put together a re-pop schwinn-style springer, and I have questions... When the spring compresses,the rubber bushing and metal cup ant the end of the bolt kinda flop around a little more than I expeted it would, and it makes me wonder if i forgot to install some parts, or what's going on. Anyone have a diagram/disassembled picture of a schwinn-style fork? I don't know anything about these forks, so for all I know I'm missing something...
 
That's why I tighten it down until it goes through the collar on the headset, and put a nut on the backside, to lock it in place. Otherwise the bolt bounce bounces around and I'm sure if given the opportunity unscrews.
