Question 98 Dak 2WD front bushing replacement?

I need my front A-arm bushings replaced soon I have the top bushings but need to get the bottom ones and it’s kind of confusing as to how many there is just two to each side or 4 to each side the bottom is what I’m asking about rockauto is confusing as to the ones I need and how many.

It also looks like if only two per side on the bottom both are different is this correct? Like lower front and lower rear?

I think this what I need correct?

The other reason to use the DIY shop is lots of room to work and I think they will do side stuff for you like pressing out and installing the bushing for me doing that is the hardest part of the job and the most frustrating part.

Plus save me a ton of time not needing to do the extraction and install of the new bushings

Then they can do an alignment on the spot after all the new parts are on also.
