The part number you mentioned is for a TR4A (through TR6) suspension.  But
the OP is talking about a TR4.  Quite a few differences, including how that
bushing works and what it is made of.  The 4A version should not require
reaming (although I've heard that some of them do); but the TR4 style (Moss
330-260) crushes as it is pressed into the A-arm and normally has to be
reamed after installation.

 

There is even a note on the Moss web page to that effect.
