Thanks. I guess I need to spend some time on realoem rounding up part numbers for the different bolts and locknuts...

I got the urethane bushings from Ireland Engineering and he included a bushing lube with the trailing arm bushings, so I should be good there.

If I'm going to completely remove the subframe from the car, including the trailing arms, I'll half to remove atleast the half shafts right? I plan on taking the trailing arms to a machine shop and having some reinforcements welded into them. I think the Bentley manual tells you to remove the driveshaft and both half-shafts. Although, I was also planning on having the bushing pressed out of the differential, so that kind of requires removing the drive shaft as well.

I just don't want to end up spending hours drilling, sawing, heating, and banging away at old bushings.. Seems to me to be a much better idea to take it to a heavy duty shop press and have it done in a matter of minutes.
