s13 and s14 FLCA OEM/Nismo bushings the same?

I'm trying to find replacement rubber bushings for my front lower control arms on the s14. The Nismo part number for these is 54560-RS590.

I cannot find anything besides poly bushings for the flca on s14 which I will not use due to the amount of friction they bring.

I remember replacing a flca on my car... but was sold a s13 arm instead of the s14 arm. The poly bushings I had at the time seemed to fit both arms just fine.

BUT when I look up part numbers for the Nismo bushings they are different for s13 and s14.

I can find s13 bushings all day long... s14 is discontinued. Does anyone know if I can use the s13 nismo FLCA bushings in s14 FLCAs?

Decided to just bring my s14 FLCA into the local dealership to see if these s13 nismo bushings (part # 54535-RS520) would fit.

It looks like they fit perfectly!

I wonder why Nissan/Nismo has two different part numbers for these bushings!?!? Energy suspension also has two different part numbers for the s13 and s14 FLCA bushings.

Anyone know why?
