Default Rear drop-links from Meyle

Anyone offer advice please

My old droplinks look like this, with a single rubber washer above and below where it attaches to the wishbones -



The new ones have one large rubber moulding -






Have I been sent the right part?
If so do I cut this up into 2 washers or 4?

Thanks

According to other posts you are supposed to cut each one into two shorter ones.

My new links had the same rubber bushes . I cut into 4 pcs. and only used 2. They were too thick to only cut in half. I tried each way and finally decided the 2 gave the proper thread depth on the bolts. my 2 cents worth.

Plums - please link the 'other posts' you mention.
I have searched and can't find them.

Thanks

Scoobie, Plums is right, just cut in half. I tried to match up some from Energy Suspensions, but could not get close. Still trying to find a firm poly one.
