Received two new bushings in body mount bushing kit but the two new radiator support bushings are different as not same height. Should both sides be identical? Or mis packaged part

You did not mention what year or generation Firebird you are working with. My experience is only with second generation. I have only seen identical bushings on both sides.

What brand? Do they have part numbers cast onto them? Either way. they should match regardless of year model.

Got photos? Because the way they mount is a little confusing. Also, I think the classic industries repros are thinner than the original stock rad bushings.

We never found out brands or anything to assist much. But yes, many are different heights to stock so may require panel adjustment, or shims to match up.
