yikes, thats frightening.  Most import cars are unibody I think so they damn
well better know what a subframe bushing is!

Basically, there are probably 4 per subframe (one at each corner).   You have
a FWD car so I'm not sure about how your rear subframe is setup though.  your
shop needs to remove each subframe and press out the bushings and then press
the new ones in.

if they don't know what a subframe bushing is.. probably.

Run away.  Run far far away.
