12258 is lower rear and 12237 is lower front. These are for the front control arms, not the rear.

I hope someone can help me.  I purchased, a short time back, a set of Upper and Lower Rear Control Arm, under the idea that over the winter I could blast them, paint and install new bushings.  Then this spring I could just swap them for the ones on the car now.  While I was at it I had a guy box them in for me.  Today I went to Advance Auto to purchase the bushings.  They gave me what their book called for,TRW number 12258.  They only had two so the others are being sent overnight.  Well I brought them home and found that they are two small.  I checked the arms that I purchased, against the ones that are on my 69 Chevelle SS and they appear to be the same.  The bushing that I just purchased are smaller than the ones on my car now. I kept an old bushing that I removed from the set I re-did.  They only markings on them are:

 

Harris

FG       62538       B  63.

 

This bushing looks to be the same as the ones still on my car.  Can anyone guide me to a correct replacement part for the above bushing.  Thanks a million.  While I'm at it, I also need to know the correct Axle Bushings for my car. (The bushing where the Upper Control Arm and the Axle connect together-not sure if I have the right name)
