Hi Don,
Yes the front suspension bushings have the same problem. Today I took 
the Right front side apart on my car and only had a moderate amount of 
problems with one bushing.  I still have the left side to do. Why they 
don't make the bushings with stainless steel inserts is beyond me.  
Good luck with your rear bushings.
