Tie rod bushing? Do you mean steering rack bushings or tension rod bushings?

using polyurethane bushings? read this:

from what i can recall, http://www.importfanatix.com had a good writeup on the install/tech section, but i can't find it right now.

I'm guessing that u know the hardest part of the job is to press the bushings out of the rods.

you basically haveta torque the bolts down to spec while the car is on the ground. no trip to the alignment shop if u do this, unless u got 1 of those "adjustable tc rods" w/ the solid joints.
