If you have never been in car with a bushing kit installed, I suggest taking a ride before installing on your daily driver. If you do install make sure you lube the hell out of them, more than what comes with the kit and also keep them clean during install.

w0rd to that. I got some Energy poly ones for my rear swaybar subframe mounts, and untill I got them lubed, they squeaked like mad the day I had them on dry. I mean over EVERY nook and cranny in the road, it's was annoying because I drove up to this city 100 miles from my house that day (so 200 miles round trip) and then later that night drove a girl back to her place, and it was kinda embaressing having it squeak on the entire drive home. Luckily the bushings I got have Zerk fittings on them so I can pull up to Jiffy lube and have them shoot them with their grease gun which is what I did the next day, and since I only had 2 things for them to lube, they did them for FREE for me!
Once lubed, the squeaking immediately stopped.
