Default New UCAs completely different from eachother?

I recently ordered replacement Moog UCAs (RK90448 & RK90449) from Amazon, both were shipped and sold by Amazon. I received my driver side Friday and passenger side this afternoon and they appear to be completely different products. They both came in Moog boxes labeled "Made in China" however my driver side UCA is stamped Made in Japan and appears to be much superior build quality than the passenger side. The part numbers on the boxes are both correct, but every single thing about the UCAs are different. The types of bushings used, types of bolts used, build quality, ball joint dust boot etc, even the bracket that's supposed to be pressed onto the bolts isn't pressed on both sides of the passenger UCA. Also, my driver side UCA came with a green Made in Japan tag and an OEM Honda UCA part number on it. The only markings on my driver UCA say "Made in Japan" while the only markings on my passenger UCA say "R" and "OSK90448". Anything I can do about this or is it just a matter of manufacturers quality deteriorating?



Driver UCA









Passenger UCA-

Spray paint them bishes red, stick em on your car, and tell enough people that they're performance aftermarket parts that you start believing that they're performance aftermarket parts. If one of em fails, chock it up to performance parts wearing out sooner than OE.


In all seriousness, I don't see a problem, just put em on.
