Never, I am still on the original. I think the inner ones are squeaking so I figured while I was in there replacing everything I would replace them all. I guess I will try out the Power Flex ones and see how it goes.

If you have squeaks from the rear, it's often the subframe bushings. They're not terribly difficult to replace, but you'll need the tool for it.

Already did the subframe bushings with Power Flex. When those went bad they didn't squeak, they made more of a thud on hard acceleration. The Power Flex have not caused me any problems since installing them. The squeak appears to be coming from one of the inner bushings on the lower control arm. It looks like the center may have separated from the rubber housing.

So from what I am hearing it looks like I just order up another set of Power Flex bushings for the inner arm bushings and be done with it. Time for fun with the press.
