Default Top mount bush problem

I'm having a bit of a problem with my car forcing top mount bushes out of place. Fitted 2 piece poly bushes to it and it just seperates the top part and pushes it back through the hole. I can't find a picture of the type i've fitted but they look like standard when both parts are together.

I'm wondering if this style would solve the problem


Has anyone had anything similar? Or have any ideas?

If it helps the cars got adjustable TCA's, coilovers and is fully polybushed. It's running -1.5 degrees of camber too.

I had exactly the same problem fitting mine mate, you can't do them up with a racket as the turning torque pulls them out. If you use an air gun and zip them up quick they stay in place.
