Yes, they are all the same, however I am perplexed by the statement that your replacement bushings are designed to fit in the sleeves of the originals, as the rubber in those is bonded to the inner and outer, so you would have to torch the rubber out? That seems a hokey half-ass solution to a problem that doesn't exist!

Wilkinson's website shows the same part number for all the bushings, upper and lower, front and rear, so I guess that confirms it
Thanks

I replaced my rear A-arm bushings a while ago, and now the fronts need to be done.
I have graphite-impregnated urethane bushings from when I ordered a set back then, but are the front bushings different from the rear ones? Pantera East doesn't seem to have a website anymore.
PPC's parts seems to imply they are, but does anyone know for sure?
(I have the ones that are sized to go inside the outer sleeve of the old bushing, in case you were wondering.)
Thanks,
Jim
