Are ALL the front stabilizer bar bushings available from the dealers the upgraded ones, with the new harder rubber, more wax in the bushing, and a new "cut" location on the bushing. This is what the TSB says the new ones have, so I'd like to assume that all the old ones have been heaved in the trash. But how would I know before I get under the van and start swapping parts? (I can pull up the new part # easily enough - CC29-34-156B,it's right in the TSB, and assume the old ones are different, but where do I find the old part's number online, to be certain?)
Which brings up the aftermarket options: Does anyone know if they are equal to (or, please god, BETTER than) the upgraded ones offered by Mazda?
I don't have a dealer closer than 3 hours away from here and I see options like this which could be done easily and cheaply through the mail:

Is there a way to compare their part numbers with Mazda's numbers to know what they match?
I don't want to end up with an aftermarket mirror of the stock bushing I'm trying to get away from, I want a nice QUIET one!
