Wishbone and balljoint fitting 200

Just two quick questions. I bought new front-end bushings from IPD including one left and one right rear wishbone bushing. When I finally had time to take the wishbones off and take them to the shop I couldn't find the bushings and had to buy some from my local dealer. They weren't marked "left" or "right" and were Pearl not Scan-Tech. Anyone know if "pearl" is a decent brand? I thought I had remembered wrong about left and right being different and had the shop press them in.

I now noticed in my Bentley that the left and right are different and not interchangeable. Looking at the ones pressed in they are indeed different on the rear facing end. What should I do? I forgot to mention that I have now actually found the original ones I bought :-(

Baljoints! When I took the old ones out the were turning fine but when I tighten the new ones to the housing it wont turn. What am I doing wrong?

Thanks a lot for any opinions on this! I'm doing a lot of work to the Volvo these weeks that I've never tried before but I'm getting there slowly.
