Is this normal for the prothane lower dogbone and ttr solid bushings? Is there a problem and am I using the correct bolts?

That def doesnt look right.
I cant recall if mine were the same though. It seems like something I would notice though installing them.
I have the RK Sport dogbone and the tranny mounts with the holes in them. The spacers with those are steel compared to the what looks like aluminum on yours. There will be a bit of play, but what you have looks excessive. And the rear and front mounts have different length bushings as well.

Well I can switch the sleeves if they are reversed. My problem is I am not sure if I have the right bolts but I am almost positive since no others fit. Just seems like the car may clunk a lot.

I rotated the video to make it easier. So no one had this issue before? Maybe I will wrap the bolts with a plastic tape to take up the slack. I thought about having bolts made but I am not sure if that is worth the cost.

Id be contacting TTR and seeing whats up.
I would but I did not buy them from ttr so I doubt they would do anything about it. I bought them from another member, they are practically new.

Once you install the mount around the bracket on the car, and tighten the bolt, the bushing/pin is squeezed so tight in the bracket, it will not move.
The factory cobalt ones have a 3/4" hole through the bushing with a 12mm bolt (~1/2"). Same thing there... The U bracket on the car squeezes the pin so hard it won't move.
Make sense?

Ok, thank you. I just didn't want to hear any clunking. I bought them from another member that had 30 miles on them so I knew it wasn't a problem with them being worn. One thing I did notice is the hole in the shaft is not drilled in the center. It is off a little. I doubt it will cause any problems, just wanted to let you know this for future production since it could be a weak spot in higher HP installations..

It is oversized a bit to allow for tolerances. Once pinched in the frame bracket it won't go anywhere. Promised. even if it was another 1/8" bigger in diameter hole, would not have any issues, just like GM did on the cobalt. It is only as strong as the bolt, the bolt if anything is the weak point
Think of it as pinching to hold, as the bracket pinches the pin.
