Has anyone replaced them? Trying to track down a squeak in the passenger rear that appeared after I swapped in the Koni's. They looked worn when I had everything apart. So since I'm about to tear it down again to re-adjust rebound I thought I'd look into it.

I've got part numbers for all but the lower inner rear bushing (#2 in pic). Any ideas?

#11 knuckle upper/lower

rear tie rod

Just curious on what Koni's did you install ? I had to remove the upper link #7 in order to place the coil compressors on the spring and depress the coil enough to remove the strut from the car what a PIA. I'm using the Koni FSD's still waiting for Koni to ship me the rear lower perch plates.

I loosened everything except the bearing knuckle, removed bolts around #7/#8 and the rear tie rod (not shown) to gain enough access. Compressed the spring on the workbench. Agreed it was a PITA.
