    I am thinking OEM because they lasted this long and may give me a softer ride then aftermarket

    I'm about to do this on my 3rd gen. Just curious, How much were OEM bushings? Did you replace all 10 of them? When I add up the bushing from Toyota, it is over $1000. The Energy system poly bushing kit is 250. Any thoughts?

    FWIW I havent noticed any squeaking - I'd assume it may be more prevalent on rotational bushings like LCAs and less on a more compressive bushing like body mounts.
