I was only asking, cause I wasn't sure if they are the same arms. The two arms circled in the first pic, are different. Look closely. Will the adjustable ones work fine for each side?

OK not being a jerk but have you read this thread? Seriously...look in post 9 where I address that issue.
The only difference in the two is that one is adjustable and one isnt. If you replace the non adjustable one with and adjustable one (you will have two adjustable ones per side instead of one) then you will be able to adjust the camber on the car instead of just toe.
I am telling you like I told you elsewhere in this thread. It will be cheaper if you go to a junk yard and get the crossmember and arms than buying the poly adjustable ones. I dont want to take business away from Brian but you will need that crossmember anyway since I am pretty sure its bent. Just get the arms while you are at it. If you want poly bushings ES makes a poly bushing kit for our car thats only around $30 for all 4 arms. Matt Blehm sells them along with others as well I am sure. Its not listed on Matts site I dont think but I know for a fact he has them...you can email him about them if you are interested.
SO here is what I would do if I were you. I would go to the junk yard, buy the crossmember and 4 control arms, buy poly bushings and install them and finally install all of it and be happy.

do what Mike said.. and buy a rear strut assembly as well while you're there. all of it looks toast.
and no, that sleeve you pointed at above isn't removeable. there's a bolt about 10" long that goes through it to hold the links on and if that sleeve is bent, then you need to replace the entire rear crossmember.
for the poly bushings in the rear, you need to replace all of the bushings if you want to go poly, not just a pair. that will unbalance the handling of the car and cause some crazy stuff in corners... I recommend buying the entire set from energy suspension, just as Mike did. If you want them, I can do $50 shipped for the set.. I have three in stock. If you'd rather go somewhere else, that's fine too, but there's the offer.

not poly...new factory bushings. I bought them before they came out with the poly ones...paid more for them than the polys. I did replace the bushings on the trailing arms as well...I wish someone besides the AU company sold the poly trailing arm bushings.
Did you get my email the other day?

why would you ask if it's in three sections if the diagram shows only one?
do us all a few small favors:
1. search.
2. try not to ask dumb questions with obvious answers.
3. read what we tell you when you do ask dumb questions with obvious answers.

My bad, I just looked over the picture again, it looked like it was just the piece for that side, not the whole thing. Also I don't need the whole Poly set, is there anyway I can just get the Radius Rod Bushings in Poly?

do you see that little spring on the x-member??? that has to do with the ABS somehow..... non-ABS cars dont have that.....plus a few other things i think..... if i am wrong, someone prove me wrong please, i dont wanna point him in the wrong direction, but on my 1991 SE with ABS, it had those little springs.. on my 1992 SE non-abs, it didnt have them...

Just replace it dude..
If the rear brake bias valves are bolted/welded/fastened onto the rear crossmember, then you will have to get the parts off an ABS car as well, as the non-abs doesn't have them- or even places to mount them at all for that matter.
Even if you have to buy it from the dealer, it's "only" about $250 for a new one.

Good luck welding brackets EXACTLY where the need to be. The load sensors need to work exactly in tandem so they adjust the bias equally on each side. Or go though the factory procedure. I don't have one of those tools though
Just find a VE with ABS.
