Icon5 Rear Trailing Arm Bushings for Daily Driving?

Just recently found out my rear trailing arm bushings are a bit cracked, so now's the time to replace them. I'm looking for a pair of bushings that are best suited for daily driving and I would highly appreciate any suggestions.
I'm not interested in anything for racing or such at the moment, just something strictly for daily driving and at a reasonable price.

Once again, any suggestions would be highly appreciated!

just fill with dow 428 or 3m window weld.
should last forever lol. works great for engine mounts too.

if you dont mind drilling/pressing/hacksawing/bbqing out the old unit then energy is the way to go imho:

MOOG K80668 is another option if you want a non solid deal:

the temptation to fill with dow is strong though...8)

Thanks for the suggestion. Unfortunately I can't do dow or such for reasons. I may consider Energy though. Would be great to hear from others as well

Hard Race bushings have worked pretty well for me.

I did energy suspension on mine and it rode great with my skunk 2 coilovers. Only problem I had was they squeaked when it was cold weather.

There's a nice comfort zone between rubber and poly by a company called Whiteline. I live in the Midwest, so temps get well below 0 in the winter. I honestly think they are one of the best purchases I ever made!

You should not use Energy bushings because they're the polyurethane ones. And basically...they're meant for tracking the car. It's not for driving it in the street for a handful of reasons but mostly it will be squeaky and you'll need to lubricate them regularly. And even if you were racing the car, IMO, you still shouldn't use poly for the rear trailing arm bushing because of how that specific bushing is supposed to flex. Anyway, the MOOG ones are great and this is the best price you'll get on them HERE.

i replaced mines with energy suspension ones, 6 years ago, i cant be more happy with those, not a single squeak and still looks as new. the only PITA is the process of replacing them XD

Those MOOG trailing arm bushings would be a good low cost option if what they claim is true.

If its for a daily, Moog is ok.

If its for a daily you plan to thrash every once in a while, prepare to replace them. When? I don't know.
