Those moog bushes look to be like the cheap Chinese ones you can get not much rubber in them, like the Unipart ones below.
This is an original wishbone bush note how much rubber is in them.

Unipart one

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.
