I guess it's time to go OEM.

If the new one does not come with the little foam bumper inside, dig the one out from the MTC unit and use it. Or simply cut off a slice from a foam earplug.

Just thought I'd update this thread...an OEM joint and pin fit perfectly :)  The only "issue" was in getting the foam insert to compress enough to get the pin in.  Once I got it started, I could push up on the joint a bit to straighten it out and the pin slid in no problem.

Bottom line: OEM worked for me (although is much more expensive than aftermarket)
