Are they subframe inserts, or complete bushings? Metal or rubber?

Look like these?

If they're the full out bushing, it's a major pita to do. You'll need to drop the rear subframe to get those bushings out and if you get them torched out as opposed to pressed out, you'll still need to take a hacksaw to the shell of the bushing to get the new one pressed in. Major pita.

the bushings look like those but without the cutouts in the larger bushings.These bushings are also plastic,not metal.

If they look like the pic then they are spacers not bushings so all you do is lower the subframe and slide them in over the existing bushings.
