They are a PITA to get in and out, it took me hours to burn all the old ones out, took all of it to a machine shop and had the new ones pressed in. Well worth the time and effort though, at least IMHO.

I have Energy Suspension in mine but I pressed them in myself. Very good investment.

your car sounds like mine...TRpower7's too. My bushings are also shot. But I REALLY dont want to have my car squeaking like a *****. Some people mix polyurethane bushings with factory to minimize squeak and maximize handling. Anyone familiar with any good combo's?

Second, I heard that if you put diolectric grease on them that works best for keeping the squeaking away.

Third, I heard that someone is developing or came out with a silicone based bushing that has a contstantly moist feel to stop squeaking. Moist is GOOD! Anyone heard of these???

My 95 had the same problem when I first bought it, but I got the PDM Subframe Align and Lock kit, spacer kit, and it took about 20 minutes to install them all, and they basically press the subframe all the way up against the body to prevent any movement of the subframe, drove and took off a whole lot better after the install, and also nomore clunking from the rear, cost like 65 bucks.

I'd recommend those over anything, cheap and easy.

Dude, did you see the price on the PDM set? The Energy Suspension are far cheaper (in price), and I can always add the subframe set from PDM....
