Re: 1LE panhard bar bushings only
Not to be a twit; but why would anybody in their right mind try to change the bushings in a stock stamped-rubber suspension part? (especially given that it's damn near impossible to change em without destroying the weenie stock part)
A far more realistic thing to do would be to simply replace the whole bar with something .... substantial.

Re: 1LE panhard bar bushings only
A way past the dilemma then, being as how that part can be changed out in a matter of minutes, might be to buy the altogether superior part for when you're actively using (driving) the car; put the OE one in storage; and if someday somehow someone somewhere who would actually somehow prefer to see that the stock garbage is still on it is likely to look at it, put it back on for that occasion.
It's really kind of amazing how weenie that stock thing is. The LCAs are even worse (I'd make the same suggestion re. those as well). Either one, you can bend in your hands. You won't BELIEVE the difference in how the car drives when the parts holding the rear end in place are actually ... holding it in place.
