Yes, I agree! Just did one of the bushings today on the passenger side.
Once installed they look the same. In addition I was able to change the bushing
without taking the arm out, you must lift the car up with a jack to minimize the spring tension.
ONLY do one bushing at a time and DON"T UNMOUNT BOTH SIDES AT THE SAME TIME!
You can press the bushing in with the help of a vise, try to press it in from the side where the barrel from the mount is a little larger. Use dishdetergent as a lubrication. It helps to remove the powersteering hose to get more access on the left side of the passenger side control arm.
The M19 nut must be locked AFTER THE JACK IS REMOVED, otherwise the new rubber might gets twisted internally and will prematurely break down.
