Default front lower control arm 2003 v6

Just had the front control arm changed (Banana shape)-I was thinking of refurbishing the old one- Does anyone know the part number of the small bushing?-The large bush seems readily available.
Is this worth the effort?

The small bushing is available freely on the internet, although the part number escapes me. Whether it's worth doing the bushes now you have a new arm fitted only you can say. I suppose it will be ready when the new bushes on the new arm fail, (as they will), in around 70k miles !

Is the bush the same as the lower shock bush or something different?

Priced up a bush set at £42+ delivered from ebay-If you factor in the cost of a garage pressing them in (assuming they have the correct mandrells) then unless you have a press yourself this is not viable- Still worth the question.

Do these seem to be it?
C2C18350, C2C36866 or is it C2D4013 or are these all the same?

These are available from $30/pair.
I think mine have a rattle, after 170k miles. Have changed the front bushed and all other bushes, except this one.
