Rear Trailing Arm bushings

The car is going into the shop soon to have the lower core support changed out.

Ive tried to find a alternative to the OE oil filled rear trailing arm bushings, no luck. The 5th gens have them but not us 4th gens.

I'm currently running ES bushings all round up front and would like to get the rear end just as tight.

Am I stuck with replacing the trailing arm bushings with squishy OEM rubber or can I get something decent? (thinking ES sentra bits??)
Can the bushings in the "scissor thing" be replaced or is it a whole unit?

I put them on my i30 and they work fine, no problems and the rear end gets tightened.

Thanks alot guys!

Once I get my core support repaired, ill make sure to post my opinion of them once i take them through a rally through the valley.

Next on the list SFC,LTB and new tires. bald 2 year old snow tires are not conducive to evaluating suspension performance LOL!!!

I'm assuming you're asking me?

I replaced all available poly bushings up front including front & rear motor mounts and the trailing arm bushings in back.
I feel it tightens the suspension and you have more control over the car, especially with FWD.
Check catman's listing in group deals for all front bushings.
