If you stick with OEM rubber bushings, at least replace the rear and middle ones. I'm in the middle of doing the job on my 2001, and the fronts were fine, but the other four were shot. I decided to do all six, which was a mistake, since the fronts are buried up inside the subframe and are very hard to align properly before pressing them in. I'm about to have a shop do them after ruining 4 bushings. Ask the shop that's thinking of doing poly bushings what brand they'd use. ProParts subframe bushings are known to fail quickly. Powerflex bushings are good, but are over $200 for the set. For the price, I'd go with the later OEM types. They should be good for over 100,000 miles.
