Anyone know where I can get a sleeve that presses into the balljoint hole, like in the picture?

Number 3 and 4. Is what I'm talking about.

I've never seen a sleeve pressed into the knuckle like that.

A factory knuckle just has a tapered hole at the bottom and a ball-joint pushed into the top.

Any info on where you got the screen shot or what your trying to accomplish by deleting the ball joint(s)?

Also the screen shot is a little different from any C5/6 knuckle I've seen, I don't see where the bottom bolt hole is for the wheel bearing, it seems like the bearing hole is lowered and there is an extra hole/bolt just below and inside of the caliper mount hole.

Here's a link to the spindles on Summit, you'd probably have to contact Speedtech to see if you can get just the bushings.

Thank you for the link! I couldn't find who made the spindles, I'll definitely get in contact with them.
