Does the UCA bushing flange seat AGAINST the axle "doughnut" on the DRIVERS side?

Stock 96 XJ 4X4 D35.

Im trying to track down a "pop" on the drivers side somewhere. The pass side one looks good but im wondering if my drivers side one backed out a little, the flange is not against the axle "doughnut."

Thanks for your help

ironman4x4fab has replacement bushings for the axle side, cheap and worth it to replace anyways.

The answer is no,they only press in up to the "shoulder" of the bushing.

Cool deal

I put all new bushings in, just making sure it wasn't supposed to seat all the way. I hand grenaded the threads on the stock bolt so I replaced it with a normal bolt, same size

Thanks as always for the help

They're M10 size bolts, though a 3/8" should fit reasonably close. Make sure you use a grade 8 or ISO Property Class 10.9 / 12.9 bolt or you risk having it shear in half under hard use.
