I ran into this last weekend and I dont know if it was kosher or not but I just drilled the bushings out to size. They were just aluminum and the hard bushing inside was big enough allready.

yes i need some it would be easier for me to change them then mess with trying to drill them.

drilling them takes two minutes, tops.

I guess they were steel... either fairly soft or the bit I was using was very sharp.
I clamped the whole shock in a vise on the edge of the bushings to keep them from spinning.
Took only minutes.
