I swapped front lower control arm bushings to poly. I noticed that bolt hole in new bushing is bigger than in old ones. Old is 12.4 mm and new is 13 mm. Is that too loose or should I swap original 12 mm bolts to 1/2 (12.7mm)?

IF so I need to drill frame holes bigger. I don't think that in an issue.

The other things with poly bushings is you do have to have the car sitting at ride height before you tighten the bolts
