just did mine it was easy if you have air tools and a lift took me 10 min or less, did all of them..make sure you put the right ones some are bigger than other bushings, if you buy kirbans kit, it'll come with instructions on which goes where.

10 minutes? Is that for the top ones as well? I have done many sets of these. I removed the front and rear bumpers, remove all the drives side body bolts and loosen the pass side ones. Jack up the drives side of the car and replace all the bushings leaving the bolts loose after replacement. And repeat on the other side. It takes me about an hour to do. But make sure you inspect the frame where the bushings set, I've seen too many frames rust out there.

i did the ones that were missing which were the lower bushings all of the ones i had from factory looked mint so i didnt need to change them only the ones that are missing from factory, didnt take me long at all it was pretty quick car was on a lift all of the body bushings that where on the car looked really good.
