Should I replace these crossmember bushings?

If you're just street driving and they are not loose, I would use them. Some of the new ones over the years had fitment issues I believe. I have the solid pucks for them as well that just bolt over the bushings to firm them up.

I have never heard of an original one of those failing. Ever.
But I have heard the replacements they sell now totally suck and do not fit right. But I never changed one so I don’t know for sure. I have taken the crossmembers out and put it back in without changing the bushings and it’s rock solid.
Just my experience.
