yes, those are for the 95-2000 models, yours might be different. on 95 & up it takes 2 bushings for each side.. call them.

2 bushings/side for strut rod

no. that's wrong. there is one bushing for each strut rod on each SIDE of the car. that being said, many polyurethane bushings are SPLIT into two pieces for ease of installation, but comprise a single bushing when assembled properly.

there's 2 control arm bushings per side, per control arm (upper/lower, they are different)

there is one replaceable ball joint on each of the front corners, the lower only. (side specific)

for 89-94 the design is totally different.

for OEM parts i've had good experiences with carson, sewell, and Champion. it all comes down to who's closer for shipping.
