G37x upper front strut bushing?

I've been searching all over the interwebs and I am having a tough time finding what I'm looking for. I'm in the process of putting new KYB OEM replacement front struts on my 2010 G37x sedan. Somehow I misplaced the upper mounts so I ordered new mounts locally. Can anyone tell me if there is supposed to be a bushing above the upper strut mount and the nut that goes onto the strut shaft???

It's too hard to tell in these pics I found on ebay of a complete strut assembly:

if you are talking about #2 on the picture Sonic posted, its not a bushing per se but a gasket. The material is the same as plumbing gasket you get in sheets at home depot. You just cut it to shape. Some examples:
