Default Poly Bushing questions

Am in the (slow) process of installing poly bushings from the full kit (minus sway bar bushings) from Prothane on my 96 CE. I've done the front lower control arms when I did the lower ball joints last month.
1. Rear control arms. There seems to be some confusion whether the bushings in the 96 are the same size as other years. Had anyone installed the Prothane kit on a 96?
2. Can the rear diff bushings be installed while the diff is in place (1 side at a time)?
3. Is it worth installing the steering rack bushing kit? It looks like a tie rod end and rack dust boot have to come off to install the "ring" bushing.

Anything else to be aware of with the Prothane set?

Thanks
