Handful of questions about replacing rear upper link

Hey guys, been while but I am still around.

I need to replace my rear upper link MR954332 (has a bit of play in it) and I have a couple questions.

1. To replace, is it one out, one in and alignment?

2. Is it a different part for different evos (4-6/7-9)?

3. Anyone know where I can pick up a factory replacement for a good price? (all I've found so far are around $300USD each).

4. Is the front lower control arm the same part? (Appear to have the same part number).

5. Left and right sides same part?

I am looking at possibly using aftermarket arms but there are some local compliance requirements I will need to check before I will know if I can use them or not.

Cheers guys.

is it possible to get a bushing kit? I have not replaced any of my evo rear bushings, but I did some on other cars. Is the bushing loose or the ball joint?

It is the bushing that is loose, it is quite hard to find out if it is there is a bushing kit available because of all the different names for the part (upper control arm, rear toe control, upper link etc). If someone knows the bush I need, flicking me a link to the kit will be awesome.

Here's a pic of the arm/link that I'm trying to replace:

try in the suspension part of the forum. I do not know a great deal of knowledge on suspensions. I know the autocross guys and drag guys replace them.
