Default Need help with UCA question ASAP

I ordered the protune UCAs before reading how big of a mistake that was and I’m needing to replace the bushings OEM are to small do I need to burn the rubber out of the protune bushings and use the outside sleeve to make the OEM bushings fit?

The control arm is moving left and right on the bushing because there is no lip I’ve never seen this style bushing before it was great at first then boom junk

I wouldn't do anything other than take those back, and replace with the proper part. Control arm bushings a re a royal pain, but not as bad as ball joints. You are also looking at a safety issue with modifying them.
