Default Front lower control arm rear

Having a heck of a time getting the bushing replaced in the front lower control arm rear. At the point where I may just get a new assembly. Been looking and I'm finding that the left side is $150 cheaper than the right side. Of course I need the right side.

Anybody know why there is such a big difference in price?

When I worked at the dealer I did DOZENS if not HUNDREDS when the plastic bushings were failing.

They are not that hard, especially the XK with the spring/damper setup.(you don't have to compress the spring)

Here are 2 documents to look at.

OK Motorcarman, thanks for taking the time to reply and providing the attachments but I am experancing quite a bit of trouble replacing the Front Lower Control Arm REAR bushing. I've had two different shops destroy two bushings trying to press them in. Final today a shop was able to get one installed correctly but they charged me $100 to do it and said never again.

Anyway I finally have mine done.

I'm still curious about my original question, why is the price so different between the left and right side?
