Apparently FCP is selling the heavier driver's side bushings for both sides in their set. This should not be a problem. It isn't exactly what the system is tuned for, which is a slightly lighter passenger side bushing. So the feel might be a little assymetrical, but probably unnoticeably so. The real problem would be in using the weaker passenger side bushing in the driver's side, which would result in an early failure.

I guess FCP figures it's better to avoid people making that mistake than it is to get the correct bushing on the passenger side. In short, I wouldn't worry about having the same bushing for both sides. The real problem is that the Scantech bushings are not nearly as durable as the Volvo bushings.
