Front Sway Bar Bushings

[340challconvert]

Cleaned up the front sway bar and brackets
Purchased Moog K5241 Bushing Kit to change out the bushings (listed for Challenger and RT models w HD suspension)
The bushings fit the bracket appropriately, but: the center hole in the new bushing is too small
Sway bar measured w a micrometer = .85"
Original bushings (not in terrible condition) are one piece w no slit
Replacement bushings have a slit, the center hole measures slightly less .79"
This means the new bushings would have a slight gap opening at the slit when placed on the sway bar.
I would think they would compress around the bar when tightened down?
Is this the correct sway bar bushing or are there original (no slit) bushings available?)
Do not want to use poly!
Thanks for any feedback.

probably fine, but you could also put in some type of shim.

I have used them on my 71. They will just squish together.

Thank you all

I just put the Moog bushings on both my vert and my Imp and I think the slit is a non-issue and for what it's worth I installed with the slit facing rear of the car.
