Cheap Chinese ones, also some Febi ones amongst other makes have less rubber in them, as do your moog seems to be the same.

Chinese Febi left and Unipart on the right altogether, also note the position off the centre bushes they are all in different places, therefore another reason why they maybe hard to line up, the Unipart ones lined up correct

I purchased some arms from QH earlier this year to keep on the shelf should i need them in the future they seem good quality and finished nicely, i also added extra grease to all swivels/ joints, these are to go with my Unipart bushes.

Always best to try and change these while you have the car on ramps, preferably on four ramp so car is level.

Yaah some of those bushes look to be pressed in wrong to the bracket clearly such shenanigans would cause premature tares in the rubber if fitted in time. The first bush i had to cut off that was damaged trying to fit it actually was loose in the bracket and given how tight the inner part was onto the arm maybe a reason but not entirely imo. Not good and Rimmer said it was oem top quality but sent a replacement at no charge which is now in my growing parts box for next time as i used a moog one again.
