Since you already have the used sub frame out I would have an after market bushing installed. These bushings are liquid filled and are known to fail. A sure sign is liquid seeping onto your exhaust. Peps refer this to "puking". Who knows how long the used one will last you. It would suck to have it fail soon after the install. I had the energy rear diff bushing kit installed on mine. It doesn't pop, make noises or make the ride stiffer.

This is good advice

Ouch. But like Raidernation says, the OEM bushing is garbage and will just fail on you. Now is the perfect opportunity to upgrade to aftermarket (sounds like you want poly) bushings.
