UPDATE! from post https://gbodyforum.com/threads/fed-using-ebay-front-rearward-lower-control-arm-bushings.89159/

i ordered from carid AND SAME THING HAPPENED! so i didn't get ripped off from ebay. called carid i told em to check their stock and they said ships direct from mfg so this is a acdelco issue of packing correct box with upper control arm bushings. i sent off a msg to person i ordered from ebay to let them know. i'm supposed to get a shipment from amazon mon the 20th and i' expecting the same.

You need the GM lower bushings 14039483, 461853, and 4 uppers, p/n 473786. Well, it appears you already have 4 uppers. :)

the uppers 473786 were supeseded by GM p/n 15980176. If that's helpful.

Also, 461852 is the previous p/n for 14039483.

Ok. My point is, I'd trust the older GM part numbers long before I'd trust those "new" numbers. But that's just me. Appears those people in China can't read numbers to place the right number on the right boxes in the bushing plant. Just another example of what happens when you don't have a good QC program. My guess is, those same parts end up in different boxes with different brand names on them. Moog included.

That said, not all Chinesium is pure junk. Most of it is, but not all. But that's the rub. You just can't tell by looking at the parts anymore. I recall back in 2010, someone with a new Camaro chipped the midnight silver paint on their wheel and wanted to find the paint for repainting. He finally tracked it down to where the wheels were made....yup, you guessed it. China.
