1-4 are stock rear control arm bushings. in your sig you say you have steeda upper & lowers so their useless to you. #5 are rack bushings

You may be getting sound due to bad bushings in the rear LCA's, but those appear to be stock bushings, so will not work in aftermarket arms you have.

Did you install these new arms and did the noise appear immediately? Your aftermarket arms will likely have poly bushings and not nearly as quiet as rubber ones in stock set.

not saying you dont have bad bushings in your aftermarket control arms. just telling you that 1-4 are for stock arms & wouln't work in your aftermarket ones.
