Rear swing arm bushes Rear Axle bracket oem: 8Z0501541 compatible with 1J0501541C?
I want to change the rear arm bushes AND... the part is no longer available.
When searching I stumbled upon another OEM part number 1J0501541C. It seems that on older febi bilstein bushes this was the code.
Does anyone now if it is compatible?
This part might be compatible too 6Q0501541E.
The 1J seems the same size except for the screw hole (11 vs 12)

answer:
I successfully installed the MEYLE 1147100001/S. (I used the nuts from the kit, in my case the original bolts were fine but the nuts were rusted).
The main difference is the main hole. The original bushing have one solid metal - the new ones have a star like design - I guess for the bolts not to rust in place. Maybe the rubber is a bit stiffer but this only helps.
In my case the car had the original bushings...so 20 years old. It was a real pain to take out.
The oem code for the bolts is: N 90710501 (in case you need new ones - only oem available and affordable)
Thanks to @RAB and @carlston for help with codes.
Here is a picture with the new bushing after instalation.
