Me, I just do the top. I guess I can see an argument for doing the  
bottom, but it seems far more trouble than it is worth. We don't want  
to encourage the keys to pop up and down (though if they pop up - and  
we see by high speed videography that they do - we want them to fall  
back down). I think if the pin is bad enough to need it at the  
bottom, it should probably be replaced. It's bushing longevity, plus  
keeping bushing friction to a minimum while maintaining close  
tolerances, that I am focused on.
