Hey everyone!
I've been redoing my rear suspension with Urethane bushings, and it looks like I screwed up pretty bad. I read that the "inner sleeves" in the control arms weren't re-used, so I cut them out. Apparently, what I thought were the "inner sleeves" were actually the "metal shells" and those were not supposed to come out. I've tried all the hardware stores around me and cannot find any metal tubes that would work to replace the shells. Any advice?
Here's a thread for someone who was describing what I think was the same issue, doesn't look like he found a solution:

Here's a kit that includes the "metal shells" I'm talking about (on the right):

Without these shells, there's way too much play when I put in the Urethane bushings, so I can't just skip them. I'm worried that if I just cut and shape some sheet metal, it'll slide too much (which would probably cause a terrible noise + damaging).
