Just did the "easy" front and rear suspension bushings yesterday. I didn't have time to muck with the front A-arm bushings, which seemed to be in good shape, but the rear A-arm bushings were definitely shot (at 130K). Also took care of the rear torque rod & Panhard bushings and found I had a leaking rear shock. Sooo... went back to my electronic invoice from FCP Groton to see when I ordered (for warranty purposes), and tripped over something annoying. It seems that the front A-arm bushings - the ones at the rear - have different part numbers for left and right. OOPS. They didn't LOOK different, and the Haynes manual doesn't indicate any difference. Obviously I have a 50% chance of having done the job correctly. Can anyone enlighten me as to a) what the left-right bushing difference is, and b) how bad is it if I installed them on the wrong sides?
