    Wrong Front bushing? correct P/N?

    My 03 Marauder needs the front lower control arm bushings (rear most)
    I ordered the correct K80833 and K80834 (as per Moog's website)


    But clearly, they are not the same. (Old right, new left)

    I went to my local ford dealer and they said its not available.


    Any advice on this one?

    Im a gearhead with way too many vehicles...

    Im here to talk about my 03 Marauder. 300A/B (I have a weird mix)

    165k miles as of dec 2018
    Jmod, removed 2 springs

    I mean, you're comparing an aftermarket Moog to an old OE, I am not surprised it isn't a carbon copy.

    PNs look correct as per rockauto

    As long as the physical mounting dimensions are the same, that’s probably the closest you’ll get. Often the aftermarket part will look different but have similar functionality.

    Looks like you need to try other suppliers to see if they're the same. Maybe a Chinese supplier will have the correct dimensions. The Moog part could possibly be modified to make the hole larger, it appears the OEM bolt size may not fit the new part.
