If there's enough rubber to do so, remove the metal sleeve and ream the remaining rubber bushing up to the needed size.

We pay top dollar for made in the usa parts and nothing fits.
They can't even get a pair of shocks right.

I know its not right to have to fix a new part you
spend good money on BUT you can push the inner sleeve
out and press in a larger size(correct size) but you
might to press one out of a old shock... I wouldnt
just press out the inner and run the rubber on the
bolt... you need that inner sleeve to butt against
the cross member
