Just a note regarding rear suspension arms; after replacing the bushings and reassembling the rear suspension the bolts should be left finger tight until the full weight of the car is on the rear axel.  With the axel supported by jackstands the rear springs will be compressed to ride height.  The bolts can then  be torqued to their full specifications.  Failure to do this will result in the bushings trying to act as springs and affect the performance of the rear suspension and possibly the ride height.
