Rear Lower Control Arm Bushing

I've just pulled out my rear lower control arms and burnt out the old bushings to replace them with some Nolathane ones. The part number is 46216 if that helps anyone.

Now the problem that has come up is that the Nolathane bushings aren't a snug fit in the actual control arm. They have movement, as in I can move them in a circular motion when both sides and the crush tube are in. The next problem is that when they are sitting in the control arm they are now too wide to fit the brackets on the subframe which leads me to believe they are the wrong bushings.

Anyone had this issue before or know which are the correct bushings to order? My car is sitting up on stands now with no rear control arms and no bushings in the control arms so I can't put the f**kers back in to drive it. ><

The car is a 1990 R32 Skyline 4 Door also.

      Nah no bearings, just slip fit.  Would be a reasonably challenging but not impossible job to modify it to run bearings but I'm hoping that's not necessary as I may have well built one myself if I end up spending hours modifying it!

      Brumbys with good shells are bloody expensive, I've looked at 2 "cheaper" cars, and walked away from both,  plus after some research spare parts are fairly sparce I'm starting to think that I missed the boat on finding a clean one that is straight (ish) and without alot rust I'm starting to think about a old Hilux as panels and other parts are much more available as they sold tens of thousands of them I use to be indecisive but now I'm not sure

      A Brumby would probably fit a big metal toolbox in the back... this is how it begins

      Picked up a new OEM boot seal for the MX5 today as the old one got ripped a bit by me being a idiot by seeing if I could fit a large metal tool box in it, it didn't fit, and ripped the seal with the corner of the tool box I am still waiting on time to get the cams and new balancer installed, as well as the repairs to the boot Time will not be an issue soon though

      I was more thinking so it doesn't flop around as much rather than for rotating it. Once you have the balance right, it should rotate well enough, depending on how much resistance there is on the pivot. I think you said the pivot point was on a bearing though didn't you?
