Default Rear Upper Control Arm Bushings

Here's where I am at.
I got a 8.8 out of a turbo coupe. The bushings for the upper control arms where all dry rot so I pulled them out. Problem is that to get them out I destroyed the outer sleeve that the bushings were in. That sleeve is the one that is pressed into the casting on the top of the diff. My question is... When I buy some poly bushings to replace the stock ones, will they have the outer sleeves? If not where can I buy them or do I need to machine some up? It would be a pretty easy part to make but If I don't have to then I don't want to. I have attached some pics incase you don't understand what I mean.






Thanks for any help.
Dan
