L / XT series Wheel Bearings

I'm in the process of chasing down some unexplained play in my front wheels at the moment and I suspect someone has fitted clearance bearings like 'C4' or something instead of what should be in there.

How do the castor rod bushes fit? They look like they are flat instead of domed like the OE ones?
