Default General Bushings Advice

Guys,

Currently, the car has 230k miles on it. The trailing arm bushings definitely need to be replaced, but should I replace all of the bushings on my car or just the trailing arms?

Was wondering what you guys with high mileage cars have done from personal experience. Is it necessary to replace all of the other bushings or will they last me?

Just trying to avoid any unnecessary costs.

I just replace them as they go bad. If they have small cracks or no cracks, I leave them alone. I replace any that are heavily cracked and deteriorated.

Trailing arm bushings are not that hard to do if you get the press tool.

Bushing replacement can be VERY time consuming and is often expensive.
OE style bushings cost a lot, welded nuts can break, bolts snap etc.

Okay cool. I'll probably do that then. Figured I should replace them all because I can buy a whole kit instead of individuals.
