That's the passenger side ones. Proper length is the one on the left. So about an inch longer or so. I've not measured the drivers side one so don't know if/by how much longer it is. There both basically brand new. Pm if you want proper lengths in mm and more pics.

Hey folks Got my 172 phase 1 a few weeks ago and I've been told to check the front bushes to make sure the metal sleeve has been tack welded in place. I've got powerflex bushes all round btw. So I had a look and they've not been tacked in place :(. So ill bring the welded home at the weekend...
