What was the condition of your old ones like?
I've dropped my subframe/diff/trailing arms today to renew trailing arm and subframe bushes etc.
One of the subframe bushes looks ok but the other has a small split, but I'm surprised that the trailing arm bushes look like new. No perished rubber, no twists, no play, nothing! Even the bolts look like new (no corrosion, and all came apart easy). At over 130,000miles, including many trackdays and 18yrs old I'm really surprised by this. I'm sure I've read of people renewing these and the old bushes were tired and failing (maybe old E30 blogs perhaps).
