Where did the bushings come from? You might ask the parts guy.
It used to be that there was a different bushing for left and right. Supposedly, to account for differing stresses on the mounts. However, last time I replaced them a few years ago, the parts guy told me that didn't really matter and their shop's practice was to use the stiffer ones on both sides. A few years before that I replaced the bushings with the left and right styles, and I recall that one of them might have had a dot on it to distinguish them. I don't know for sure if this how it is for your bushings or not.

Check the mounts for the larger bushings carefully. Mine had become out of round and resulted in clunking.

Good Luck,
Tom
