In the housing in my race car (which I've replaced a number of bushings in), the bushing is flush with the edge of its bore....there should be a short distance from the edge of the bushing to the inward facing lip of the seal...maybe 1/8" or so....
IIRC, there's a stop on the inner side of the bushing bore so it will only go in so far....occasionally, I've had to shorten longer bushings I've gotten by mistake to make everything fit...
How did the length of the bushing compare to your old one?
Did you measure the depth of the bushing bore?
Details, details...*G*
