Default Rear Sway Bar End Link Bushes

It seems like the replacement aftermarket Rear Sway Bar End Link Bushes tend to arrive with a longer rubber bush that almost looks like two pieces fused together and people seem to be cutting that in half and placing one half above the mounting bracket and one below. I, sheep like, followed that trend. There were bushes above and below the bracket on the one I took off, so I replicated that with the new one cut in half.
