    That's why car manufactures put them in for or they would of left them off saving cost.
    Now the wheel Alignment is done don't worry about it, the weight will keep them silent long as you don't start going off jumps. When I put my castor bushes on as they were second hand Nolathane they had the left and right set up cabled tied so I was lucky, don't know if they added anything doing the alignment they might have.

    Leave it upto you to figure out where they go.....My suggestion isn't fit for this forum, especially where you are concerned

    You don't need them on the bottom, springs sits in slots in place on strut bracket.
    What was cable tied that you were lucky with ???? and why would you put on 2/hand worn bushes ????

    Well you queried my post to OP when I was online last and since you’ve stated you’re a professional aligner it would be good to check/know if my aligner did a proper good job ??

    And would help the OP as well plus anyone else in the future since we have the same front end dimensions and you would have to have worked on many of these very common commodore front ends at your place of employment :)

    Each side was in order with L&R labelled, Why second hand, because they were 60 for the lot and in good condition, also because I wasted money on rubber ones which only lasted 3 months, Nolathane ant cheap new. Yes I understand every car alignment is different that's why after fitting new lower control arms and front radius bushes I got it corrected.
