Yes
they all have the steel bushing pressed in...
the bush may be jammed onto the bolt??

Do you mean the bottom bush of the new shocks in too long for the bolt? or that the hole in the lower bush is too small to fit over the lower
mount?
Some after market shocks require the bottom bush to be trimmed on either side so they are flush with the rubbers.

the bush in the bottom of the front shocks are narrow..
so they will fit over the stud...
the steel bush is probably still on the stud...
if they are flogged out the bush will look like its part of the stud.
vise grips may get them loose... twist as You pull..
how come You didn't notice they were worn out??
