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.

UPDATE! went with napa locally and got their brand, they look a little old with all the surface rust. also tried advanced auto they said that PN is for upper control arm bushings and moog discontinued their version of what i need.... i'm not sure bout that from what i seen. i always had good luck with napa so now to sched my car for new suspension with alden coilovers for a 1" drop and driver seat custom bracket for 1/2 inch lowering. this been 6 months planning & saving hoping no more issues. thanks for all ya'll's help.
