Help with this rear traction poly bushing!
Good evening.
I decided to replace all my suspension parts, including suspension and the last bushing I needed didn’t come with the other stuff I ordered. I’m talking the bushing at the hub where the rear traction bar attached. The only poly bushing I could find was this one by super pro which by their compatibility chart matches my car. Their part number is spf2785k.

I got the old bushing and shells out and installed these. One thing I noticed is that the 2 clamshells don’t “meet” in the middle of the mount for the bushing, leaving a gap. The once I got everything installed I realized the inner metal sleeve is not large enough for the bolt. It possible I got the wrong part in the bag or is this the wrong part all together?
im trying to get my car back together and this is the last thing I need to get it going. Has anyone replaced this and do you have any input or links to a part that you know will work?
i double checked the old sleeve from the original rubber bushing and the bolt fits.

I found these on figs website
https://shopfigs.com/v5/cat-lex-sc-bushings/A300
im not sure if they are the same. The pic looks similar the only different seems to be that the compatibility shows Supra/sc on figs website and the suspension.com mentions is300 where figs doesn’t. They both mention the gen1 gs300 though. Figs doesn’t give the super pro part number on their website though.
also does the soarer/super have different rear hubs than the sc300?? This part below says it fits a gs Supra and sc300. The other part listed above says it specifically fits the sc300 but it doesn’t seem to.
