I was just wondering... I'm gonna have to replace a bent trailing arm. Unfortunately, I already put new IE bushings in just a couple thousand miles ago. My question is can I reuse these in the new (junkyard) trailing arm when it comes, or should I just get new ones (again)? Any chiming in on this would be appreciated.
Don't see any reason you couldn't re-use them...but I suppose it depends on what was damaged/bent on the arm you're removing. I'd inspect the bushing somewhat closely to make sure it doesn't have any damage.

Yep, the trailing arm was bent all along, but I didn't see it until after I had replace subframe and rta bushings. It's only been about 2,000 miles, so if I don't see anything obvious, then I'll reuse them. Thanks!
