Thanks, BigRig.
Funny, I found a 3rd site that listed left and right bushings.

I think I'm done dealing with Amazon Automotive.
After ordering the bushings from fcpeuro - much cheaper - I still had the amazon page open so I looked at stabilizer links and shocks.
The product description - if you can call it that - for the links is basically useless. I searched Moog + the part # for the left rear link and got 2 results. One was...well, I don't know what it was but it looked like a short piece of transmission line. The other was described as right rear, with the left rear part #.
When I searched for shocks I first narrowed the search with year/make/model/etc. I thought that would eliminate everything that doesn't fit my car. I chose KYB brand and the results showed "this does not fit your car", but then I saw a KYB kit of all 4 that "does fit my car". The part numbers were the same as the listing for single pieces! Then I switched from KYB to Motorcraft - I was still in my car>suspension>shocks/struts - and I got some shocks/struts, but I also got wiring harnesses, idler pulleys, and some other completely unrelated crap.
*sigh* I ordered the links from RockAuto. Still looking for shocks.

^ take your VIN to your local dealer, have them search for what valid P/N are used on your model, walk away with the P/N and search online.
Apparently these LS Sport shocks are impossible to be had but over the years the number have changed a million times.
I did rather well even getting the shocks all around from the local dealer at a fantastic discounted price. (compared to shipping to CDN with duty surcharges that is.)
These are the Sport shocks I walked away with and was assured were the correct sub P/N. (time will tell)
Matched by VIN based on: Code DWAAE - SPECIAL SUSPENSION

The inside diameter is 30.2mm on these bushings should work fine on sport models but not for non-sport models. Still looking for best fit for non-sport model.

The inside diameter on the Jaguar sway bar bushings part#XR819697 from fcpeuro.com is 30.2mm. It should work fine on sport models but not for non-sport models. Still looking for best fit for non-sport model.
