here's the measurements from the calipers.
M3 bushing was compressed until it's shell met in the middle.



so, it looks like you cut a mm off the shell to make the diameter work. That probably fixes the right/;eft measurement. The measurement where the XI bushing has it's key is 3mm off though. and I'm not sure how much a problem that is. I need to crawl under there and look at it to make sure that amount of "off" can be adjusted back into spec.
of course it wouldn't surprise me if my factory bushings were 3mm off at 100K miles when I had it aligned, so probably?
also there's about 4.7 and some change that needs to be taken off each side of the bolt sleeve.

wife goes on a girl's trip this weekend for the whole week, so I'll have time to tinker, and the ability to leave it sit disassembled for a few days figuring things out.
