Thanks for that. Was able to order the part i needed!
I have another question -- I stumbled on this video https://youtu.be/GY909OF47Ng?t=42 in which they use something called a sealed spherical monoball. The design makes more sense to me, less play acting on that bushing(?) so it would last longer... or am I totally wrong? What's the effect of using something like that? Does the stock/OEM style bushing provide for a "softer" riding/driving experience?
The effect is essentially what the dude in the video says. The oil filled bushing has the most give and will yield the most comfortable ride. The solid rubber bushing will give less and result in a somewhat more rough ride with a little more enhanced steering response (IMO the best compromise). The monoball/solid type bushing will result in an even more harsh ride but better steering response.

Pelican's terminology is a bit weird. But their "front left/right forward" is the "thrust arm." The one towards the front with the big bushing on the end. The "front left/right rearward" are the arms that sort of stick out at right angles from the bracket on the cradle and its ball joint connects to the knuckle at the "rear" part of the knuckle. Those bushings are much smaller than the others.
If your "rearward" bushings are OK, I'd leave them and just replace the others.
What part of CA are you in?
