    If you street the car and dont like noise I would go with a poly bushing....I had stock bushings for 10 years in my rear and been drag racing the car the hole time. I put a set of team-z solids in when the rear was out and the car is noisy...If its a drag car you will benefit from solid but expect to have noise back there...

    If you do go solid take a 5lb sledge and smack the old bushing cup a couple times and they will pop right out.

    If you go with a poly bushing you may need to reuse the cup that is pressed in the ear.. you can burn the old rubber one out if you want or drill holes all around the bushing and then they will rip out when you pull the old bushing.. Good luck and be patient

    I used a hole saw & a little wire wheel. With a good drill it took about 45min.
