rear beam bushes

i was wondering if anyone could tell me if there was any differences in the mk2 rocco rear beam through the years, it's just my bushes are knackered and i was going to put some poly's in, but when i checked on ebay they are only listed as 74-82 (mine is an 87 gt) any help would be great thanks.
