Yes, those are the ones!

My mechanic had to shave a little of the face off at an angle to get that bushing to press in. It was just mushrooming in stock form with a 20 ton press until we decided to shave one side to make somewhat of a funnel shape to get the insertion going. Being careful not to touch the back lip/raised edge of that insertion side to allow that lip to perform its function of holding the bushing on that side against the metal arm edge.

If you can figure out how to press them in shout shaving it, please let us all know.

My guess is that a newer (and likely more expensive) design may be a two piece affair like I've seen on some other PU bushing designs in images.
