Anyone done their bushings? What else to do while I'm in there?

I would think to check your flex disc and center support bearing in the driveshaft. U-joints on driveshaft. transmission mounts. I generally have a "rebuild assembly" type approach to major maintenance events such as this. At the mileage you're replacing rear subframe bushings (special tools E53), every other bushing in the rear suspension is suspect or certain.

The longer symptoms have been present, the longer vibrations have been going through the rest of the chassis/drivetrain.

What is your mileage?
