Absolutely change them. After 30 years, they are probably not serving any useful purpose. I swapped mine about 6-8 years ago. Did it in the drive-way. I do remember that I drilled the rubber out (1/4 inch bit) to remove the old (some people burn them out with a torch). And i did install them myself using whatever tools I had at the time - not many. Point being I got it done and you can too. I installed poly bushings and they squeeked in cold weather from day one. I am drilling the bushings for grease fittings and should finish up today. If you decide to use poly, use PLENTY of grease, much more than they include in the kit.
