The 2 bushings are different. Easiest way is to be certain is to measure them!

The bushings which come in the ES kit are for the trailing arm - both in the arm and the knuckle.

Not really sure why everyone is so wound up about the bushings as most of the deflection in the rr suspension is caused by the crapola arms, not the bushings. The only arm which is strong is the trailing arm.

How do I know? Because I've swapped arms AND bushings long ago. I run a combination of alloy, rubber and poly bushings in all the right places.

Don't forget that the rr subframe, unlike the front, is direct mounted to the chassis w/out any rubber isolation. Take all the rubber out and you'll have incredible harshness and suspension binding. Just a plain lousy setup.
