jalex wasn't clear on which picture zcardepot sent him.  Apparently zcardepot thinks he needs the inner bushings, 55555-E4100, but he's really looking for the outer bushings, 55541-E4100.

 His #57's have already been replaced with polyurethane, and he's going back to the original bushings.  So, part number 55541-E4100 is the part he's looking for.  NOT 55555-E4100.

Get them directly from Courtesy Nissan.  $11.68 each.   https://www.courtesyparts.com/oem-parts/nissan-bushing-link-55541e4100

So far, that's at least two people saying just buy them from Nissan.  No need to go elsewhere and they're as inexpensive as they'll be anywhere else.  Besides eBay, maybe.

Asides from these 4 bushings which others will you replace to smooth the ride?

Yes.  Nissan refers to those as "Rear Transverse Link Bushings".  We mostly refer to that as the "Rear Lower Control Arm" and "Rear Lower Control Arm Bushings".  But there are "inboard bushings" (64 on the diagram) and "outboard bushings" (57 on the diagram) (or- inner and outer).  Most of us call the outboard bushings the "spindle pin bushings".

If the shop installed poly bushings, they would have already removed the old bushings and the pesky outer casing of the stock bushing.  Removing the poly bushings and installing stock should be pretty easy - depending on how the spindle pin removal; goes...

If you think the Energy Suspension Poly bushings are too stiff, you'll need to replace all the suspension bushings and possibly the sway bar bushings...

That would include all the lower control arm bushings (front and rear), the compression rod bushings, and probably the sway bar end links.

If you think the mustache bar transmits too much noise into the hatch area, you should replace those too.
