How's the ride with the pedder's bushings? Need a special press/tool to install them yes?

There you go with some information from my install.
And no. It's not hard. I definitely felt the difference directly after install but now I'm used to it and don't really feel it anymore.
Your car get's very tigth. Everything feels a little bit more direct like in a sportscar.

I would definitely do it again.

She's home safe and sound.
The parts didn't make it until Friday but they were able
to finish it up today. They replaced the bushings, two shocks and two exhaust hangers that were bent.
I have no complaints aside from the original failure (oh, and my rental being a corolla).
Dodge City of Mckinney took care of it and kept me up to date. Of coarse
there's still no idea what caused it.

First night home in over a week. We're thinking of letting her sleep in
the bedroom with us.

Was this at all covered under a warranty or insurance? I just had both of my bushings snap yesterday.

It was 100% covered by warranty. They checked it to make sure I didn't hit anything.
It was less than a year old and very low mileage. It has 59k miles on it today and not another issue.

You are not the only one this has been happening too. My son-n-laws 2010 RT 68,000 miles coming beck from Houston, both sides broke loose at 70-mph. Probably ruined his tires, his axle boots will have to be replaced, possibly the axles. Needs to be a safety recall concerning this. This is very serious, contact safety commissioner, Department of traffic safety etc. Fiat Dodge needs to fix this. Never seen this happen before, especially with a sports car. Cheap, cheap made.

Cradle Bushing Failure

I went to have a larger rear sway bar installed. when they mechanic got under the car and began to lower the cradle he found one bushing had failed in the left rear cradle. So mine was found by accident. I baby my car. Lots has been made of wheel hop. i minimize that at all costs. I will drive sporty but not reckless to the equiptment. It will be on my inspection of the car, frequently. It's shaken my confidence in how well these cars are put together. I have about 43,000 miles on it.

In my old 2008 Challenger SRT, (auto of course) I had a left rear cradle bushing failure as well. It sounded weird back there, almost like a rope being dragged over the edge of a board kind of noise every time I would start from a full stop. Took it to a dealer and yep, it was busted. They had to drop the exhaust and the entire rear cradle to replace the one bushing. Luckily nothing else was damaged, if another one had failed well yeah then it would have been additional parts.
