My question is whether you really want to support the compliant part any more firmly, as doing so tends to stiffen it against the off-axis components of rotation and induces a little suspension resistance to movement. The stiffer the bushing material, the worse this resistance effect becomes.

Do you have an end-on picture or other view not along the bolt/inner sleeve axis? I'm curious about the sleeve and shell lengths vs the length of the rubber bushing.
