Default Rear lower knuckle bushing, no part fits

Need Help!! I’m replacing the rear lower knuckle bushing on my 2008 LR3, and the OEM part is too big. The hole is 1.86” and the bushing is 2.133”. Is there something I’m missing? According to the manufacturer it’s the right part.

That part number comes up as for an L322 or 2010 + RRS also, wrong part in the bag maybe ?

^ Yeah, I agree. Sounds like you have the wrong part. Also of note, they go in one way.

Thanks for the responses, Seems my only option is to purchase a couple different bushings to See if one fits.

Why not just buy the correct bushings?

RHF500100 (upper)
RBK500220 (lower)
RYV000010 (c-clip for lower)

According to Land Rover that part was superseded by LR032644, supposedly the same…

Well which knuckle are you working on? The knuckle you show make me think you are working on the RIGHT side of the truck (as you sit inside). Which means you removed the UPPER bushing but the part you have is for the LOWER bushing.

Also, some of the cheaper non-oem bushings are very difficult to push in because the 'edge' is not 'rounded over' enough, so very difficult to get started, unless you have the Bushing in the perfect position, with the proper push-in equipment.

Contacted the parts dealer, and he has measured the upper and lower bushings, And it seems the bushings are opposite. I have an upper bushing ordered, I’ll try to have them installed by Friday I will post when I found something out. Thank you to everyone for the help.
