Yes, they are spaced apart. It is not rocket science to mm precision, but you are trying to support the inner rod at both ends.
Prob pay to measure what you have for spacing and replicate. I did do a write up on this forum a couple of yrs ago when I did mine. getting the old ones out was the trick.

Might help to ask in the 911 tech forum if you need more info. A bunch of folks in Austin did theirs a year or two back but I didn't get any pictures of the tool or method.

I posted pics and the tools I made.
Getting the old bushes out is the trick. I made up a bunch of bits.
