So I have two poly rear beam bushing waiting to go in the car. I looked at them yesterday and they are slightly different. Both are dimensionally the same and are indeed for the sierra beam.

However, on the "top" of one there is a 2.5 inch round 4mm rise or "pad" of extra poly on the top extending directly up from the taper. The other bush is dead flat at the top taper.

No stainless insert either. So what one is correct? The extra meat one or the flat top? I could make a nice matching delrin pad for the missing one with my lathe but it's been so long since I did my 3 door beam and I can't remember what they looked like - and if they have a stainless insert.

Every image online if of some yellow one that you can't see the ridge or not. Damnit.

the steel insert is to stop you tighening the bolt up too much and squashing the bush, plus it locates in the chassis to stop the bush from moving about

Found the inserts, they were in my TCA bush box.

Any thoughts on the different bushes?

they usually have a steel insert and look like this

Yep, got the inserts in hand now. But I see in that powerflex image they have a lip so I'd have to add a 4mm delrin pad to short one.
