Do the rear bushings on the front suspension have different part #s? 200 1984

posted by  someone claiming to be Michael Hale on  Tue Jan 2 09:51 CST 2001 [RELATED]

I got my new bushings from IPS today and the 2 rear a-arm bushings (the ones that fit in the bracket the bolts to the car with 3 bolts) are completely different. The one for the right side is softer and longer (made by Boge), while the other is flatter and firmer with notches at the 12, 3, 6, &9 o'clock positions (made by ScanTech). The flatter, firmer ScanTech bushings look like what is on both sides of the car right now. Sites like RPR, IPD, and scantechsweden.com list the bushings as being the same for both sides and (the ScanTech type), but IPS's computers and some shops show 2 different bushings. I don't see how the Boge made bushing for the right side would fit...it would require the control arm to be moved 1cm forward and it appears to have about a 1cm larger circumference than the scantech bushings. So, are the rear bushings for the a-arm supposed to be the same part numbers? Thanks.

Mike
