[urq] Ur-quattro rear subframe bushes

[Brandon Rogers]

I recently did my front subframe bushings (same as rear I'm assuming) with
help of other listers.  We used a press (20-ton?) to push the old ones out,
new ones in.  No piston ring compressor type contraption needed, although I
can see how that could be helpful.  I believe we just lubed them up a little
bit, and a few times they'd slip and not go in straight.  After a few
attempts they went in straight.

All in all, it was the press that mde the job totally do-able, IMO.
