D1 Front Panhard bushings - same on both sides?

[DarylJ]

The new beater (which I have named "Valdez") is a bit terrifying over 35. The panhard just sloshes around at will on the drivers side when the steering wheel is moved.

My question, which I haven't been able to find by searching as every time panhard bushings are brought up it's in a long thread where people ignore advice and just slap a new steering stabilizer on, is simple: is the front panhard bushing the same part on both sides? Also, are the bolts the same?

I'd like to get the right stuff the first time.

Thanks in advance.

Yes same bushing each side. I would avoid all make 4x4 unless they are premium grade.

On this topic. Do they require a press to get out/in ?

Makes it easier if not a vise, chisel, deep sockets and a big hammer. Freeze the new ones before you put them in. Or use poly bushings.

I use a blue tipped wrench to get bushings out

Freezing and some silicone spray usually makes getting them in easy enough to do with little more than a vise at worst.
