Rear Upright Lower Bolt Washer?

Got an annoying creak from the Indy rear suspension. Manage to track it down the the polybush on the lower wishbone rubbing against the rear upright.
I've stripped it down in an attempt to get the crush tube to touch the upright as per design but the 'clamping' force of the wishbone around the upright is too strong and the crush tube just slides back into the bush.
Should there be a washer between the crush tube and the upright? If so how the hell am a supposed to squeeze it in there!

Not sure a longer crush tube will help, it will still slide inside the bush, there would just be more sticking outside the other end. I was hoping a washer would just help the keep the upright and bush apart.
