Tom F2: You can't tell whether the front rear bushings have been deformed unless you put them back in the car and put the car on its wheels to see how far they compress upwards. If they don't compress eccentrically, and are not squeezing out the ends, I would continue to use them. When I replaced mine with the Rebel solid bushings, the rears were squeezing out noticeably, however the fronts showed no sigs of wear or compression.
That is because the weight of the car rests almost completely on the car bushings, not the front. Same at the rear, where the outer bushings carries the weight of the car, but the inner spline only sees torque.
