I cannot disagree with the fact that they flex. Glad that it was fixed with polyurethane.
But the poly inserts for the subframe as shown in the links I posted will definitely transfer more vibration, unless there was indeed a softer version equal or softer than the original.
Change all bushings - worth it ? any experience ?

Subframe bushings are a different story as they don’t move like suspension and the subframe holds the engine/transmission. What’s nice is that the poly subframe bushing inserts are easy to install & remove, plus affordable. This could be a try and see option to see if you like it. The suspension is more difficult to change to something else and costs much more.
