Default Ebay Control Arm Shaft Question

Hello all,
I had my friend who has a milling machine mod my upper control arm shafts as I've seen done by others here on CF. Unfortunately, one end got away from him as shown in the attached pictures. Is this an issue or a no never mind kinda thing for this application? I can add a 1/16" washer in place of where the shoulder part of the shaft is missing. I'm concerned that the white bushing doesn't have enough backing on one side. I'd appreciate anyone's thoughts, advice, etc. on this. I have no qualms about buying replacement ones but I'm guessing they are not available for these most likely China made CAs?
