I installed the "street" LCAs, the ones with poly bushing on one end and a bearing on the other end. Now I have a loud rattle while driving on city streets. I think I may have installed them backwards.

Does the bushing go on the axle side or the chassis side? Right now it's on the axle side.

Here are the BMR LCA's. The left ends go to the rear mount. The right ends go to the chassis.

Maximum Motorsports control arms have the bearing on the axle side. Their tests showed more movement on that side.

Truth be told, 05 rear control arms only go one one way, The wide end to the rear. Bushing or bearing wont matter, depends on how they were built. Even though MM put the bearing on the axle end, BMR may not. Sorry forgot about that.
