QA1 Rod End PHB Doesnt Fit right?

I have a QA1 rod end PHB that I want to install (just did my shocks/springs today!)

When we were looking at the new PHB it looked about HALF as wide as the stock panhard bar bushing. I'm talking about the width of the rod end here.
If I were to install the rod end it would look like there is a lot of play around it for the rod end to slide back and forth on.

Is something amiss here? Is this a wrong rod end, are there spacers I should use? I haven't heard anyone else with this problem so I'm wondering if i'm just not looking at it right or something.

Plz help. Looking to get an alignment done asap

I think you are going to have to get bushings made. People that do the QA1 LCA also have bushings made.

Yup, using the QA1 rod ends anywheres in the suspension requires spacers. I can post up where I got the material to make mine, or just look up the DIY Aluminum PHR/LCA page, the suppliers are listed there.
