Do you mean loose as its easy to slide in and out by hand or it rattles around in the hole. If a sliding fit it will probably be close to same size. If real loose, weld will shrink, so bushing hole will probably open up some. Best to have everything snugg. I like bushings a little tight then hone, ream or use a flapper wheel on die grinder to clean out bushing so pin fits. Flapper wheels arent cheap, but worth it.
