The sleeve inside the bushing, at the center, is obviously there to take the wear from the bolt if it rotates.
I am talking about the sleeve on the outside of the bushing that interfaces with the inside of the shock when the bushingis pressed in.
If you make a bushing with a substitute material then you probably do not need the outside sleeve.
