On my way back to Pep Boys

I bought rear upper control arm bushing for the 86TC.

The axle bushings were $5.99 ea.

The control arm front bushings were $21.35 ea.

The 4 bushings are identical.  They even have the same p/n.

Lets see what they say about this.

Neede some help.

I think the bushings I got for the dog ears are the correct ones.

The Pep Boys Manager thinks the upper front bushings were incorrectly boxed.  It seems to be that those bushings were longer than the ones for the dog ears.

I need someone who has removed thier upper rear control arms to compare the fronts with the backs and give me a idea of the differences.
