Rear Strut Bushings

Just installed new bushing for rear struts and noticed all four bushing I.D.'s are the same, about 5/8" (+/-). The lower bushing bolts are a snug fit however the upper bolt is about 1/2" diameter, is this correct? I kept the old bushing and they measure the same as the new ones. Just didn't notice when I removed the struts if the top bolts had about a 1/16" clearance around, am I missing a insert or sleeve?

Thanks for the help.

The 4 bushings are the same. However the upper bushings have 2 sleeved washers which take up that extra space which you describe.
You need to get the sleeved washers 2 for each strut rod.
