Control arm bushing

Upper bushings is upper bushings; support your local economy and buy parts for an XJ.
 
For the axle end UCA bushings I prefer poly, I've found that I have less DW issues and they last longer.

But yes, those are the right bushings.
 
Energy Suspension makes the poly bushings.

You will need to re-use your metal sleeves whereas the rubber bushings have new sleeves on them.

Pro's, no need to remove the metal sleeves from the axle brackets and the last.

Con's, its a bear to press the bushings into the sleeves while on the jeep and you may feel more of the road with poly bushings. I recommend that you use a ball-joint press to remove the old rubber and to install the new poly bushings. You can rent a press at any AA, AZ or my favorite place, Orielly's

Make sure you use some lubricant rated for poly bushings to ease pressing them in.
