Default Strut Rod Sleeve size

Finishing up rebuilding my rear suspension and i have a queston about the strut bar bushing hole size. The end the the shock mount goes through fits nice, but the adjustment end where the cam adjuster goes through fits sloppy, i'm using the poly bushing kit from Corvette central and according to the box it's suppose to be for 75-82's. All 4 sleeves that go through the bushings have the same size diameter hole.
Is there something else i'm leaving out? Do i have to re-use those 4 washer spacer deals that were on the OE ones? Thanks....Stu.

Found my answer by looking at the exploded diagram,the cam adjustment side needs the strut rod bushing caps installed to resize the hole size.
Glad i kept those and didnt **** can them....LOL.
