You are correct, I just called Moog and they confirmed, how wasteful & dumb!

K200790 is the problem solver front lower rearward
K6490 front lower
K6689 front upper

Thumbs up

Glad I found this thread! Just ordered some of the redesigned Moog lower rear bushings. I have UMI lower control arms and they are nice, but they are a little too harsh for me for daily driving. The roads on my commute are pretty terrible.

Now for the installation of the bushings... Not looking forward to that. I gave up a couple of years ago and that's why I ended up with the UMI pieces to begin with.

So what are the tests which validate that it is time to replace these bushings?
