The maker's installation guide is on this page — see Installation guide under the part details for the step-by-step and the torque figures. Work on level ground with the car properly supported, and torque every fastener to the maker's figure. If the job is beyond your tools, any shop that does this kind of work can fit it.
Polyurethane keeps the suspension geometry tighter and lasts longer, but can add a little noise and firmness; rubber is quieter and softer.
Most bushings need a press or a bushing tool to get the old ones out; the new ones usually push in by hand or with a small press.
Polyurethane bushings must be greased on install with the grease supplied, or they squeak. Rubber bushings go in dry.
Yes, when the bushings locate a control arm or subframe. Check it after the install.
Not when they are greased properly and the sleeves are the right size. A squeak later on means they need grease.
