z655 control lever issue

I am having issues with the control levers touching /overlapping when I am trying to mow. Needless to say this is a major headache especially when you have to do a lot of maneuvering. I do not see any adjustment that will put a gap in the levers. Trying to hold the levers away from each other is possible but is, again, horrible for control.

If there is a few hundered hours on the machine there are bushings in the lower part of the levers that can be replaced
