Uppers aren't too bad to replace. Lowers are a PITA.
I biught Energy Suspension urethane bushings from Summit.
Use plenty of the supplied lube, and they won't squeak.
If you skimp on the lube, they'll squeak. They're much better
than the stock rubber ones, and they withstand heat from
your downpipe much better.

I got the complete set of the Energy Suspension bushings. Check my cardomain page, theres a pic there with a part #. Look for a yellow box.

Get the ones who have the brass bushings for the upper right side. They won't dry out or crack. I think Global West has them. The rest in the set are poly.
