That’s what I needed to hear, thanks!!
I don't remember what makers sub frame bushings I used.

Over 10 years ago I bought a front end kit and it was all URO parts. I used it and the URO upper control arms and Lower control arm bushings are still in use and OK.
I don't know why a front end kit came with rear trailing arm bushings and I changed them and the plastic sway bar links; I used them.
I am not recommending cheap parts just passing on my experience.

To get the sub-frame bushing out I used chisels as wedges to move them out till I could get a better pry bar on them.
