This is re the rear busing on the the front control-arm/ A-arm.

Europarts shows 2 "RH Control Arm Rear Bushing" and "LH Control Arm Rear Bushing". I called and after some research the gent came back w/ the Volvo book which he said shows 2 different bushings - a left and a right - w/ 2 different part numbers.

FCP groton shows one, same part #.

Has anyone encountered this? I've installed 20+ of these over the years and never seen a left and right. Ive swapped used ones side-to-side.

Perhaps the factory bushings are slightly off-center (like the rear TABs) and are supposed to be installed directionally?

There's an archive thread here asking the same question and folks seem to thin therer is only one bushing for left and right.
