Any chance MB would use same bushing on 4matic?

So I have the MB Genuine LCA bushing kit. Well...NO STRUT BUSHING INCLUDED!!
2008 E350 4Matic

The EPC doesn't even show a part #:



The 4matic and non-4matic use the same strut. What are the chances its the same bushing?

Its $475/each for the complete arm...I really don't want to spend $900 for a $5 bushing you know?

What do you guys think?

Here is the bushing on the car, and here is a photo of the non-4matic bushing...It "LOOKS" the same?!?

I also just checked the EPC and the bolt that goes through it to hold the strut in is different, but only on length. They are both M14 x 1.5 otherwise.

Maybe I just need to buy one from autozone and try. If it fails, I'll be out $5. If it works, I just bet $5 to save $900!
