I used Powerflex bushings. They have an aluminum cup that the front bushing fits into. This aluminum piece has a inner rim that fits into the radius rod opening in the body. If you look carefully you can see it here on the T3 Technique site:

To get the aluminum piece to fit into the hole the radius rod has to be centered in the opening. Not easy to do when it's being pushed down by the spring and front suspension components.
