No.
Sorry thought you meant front and rear. Only two bushes at the rear L/H R/H both the same. Four at the front to axle all the same. And two pivot bushes for rear of front radius arms. Same both sides. Panhard rod bushes are same front and rear.

He fancies changing his bushes. Leave him to it. Yes a short bar anything can be made to move if you use a long enough one. The idea being if you can move it a lot with a short bar it is weak. That is why a short bar is specified in the MOT test and not one four foot long.

Your getting confused with shock absorbers , who's to say one side hasn't been changed already a simple check would take assumptions away

I'm old enough and wise enough to know to change things that are needed not just for fun/ sake ! So should you be

No i don't change things for fun either. Neither do i wait for something to fail before taking action. But if he is intent on changing them i would say do them both.

On a vehicle it is always best to keep both sides of equal status if you can.
Right, for somthing that only flexes It wouldn't make much differance unless the bush has actualy come away we are not talking brakes or shocks here lol
Unwise - Always treat the vehicle in a symetrical fashion...uneven wear side to side can be considered dangerous...
Yes it is just a part that flexes, but a part that flexes by a certain amount...if one side flexes more or excessive movement due to wear will give an asymetrical handling across the axle and could be dangerous...
Brakes, Shocks, Springs/Bags, Bushes etc should be replaced in axle sets....Ball Joints is a matter for another discussion...but I have always replaced them as a pair (where required) too.
