Are there any linkages or other areas that can come loose over time that I should check first? Or is there a way to confirm it's the bushes before purchasing? BTW we have an 05 3.0R if that changes the recommendations.

I have a cobb sts coming as soon as tuspeed get them in and send it out
Just upgrading to a Cobb STS removed enough play from my gear shift feel and there was no need to change shifter bushings.
Make sure you get the Legacy/Liberty specific version where applicable (6MT).
So you may get some improvement just from disassembling the stock shifter, lubing the top and lower pivots and reassembling.
Doing all the bushings* with upgraded items is great for some but tends towards producing a ratchety rifle bolt action that's not to eveyone's liking and may also increase transmitted NVH into the cabin.
*I'm referring to the front shifter stay bushing & rear shifter stay bushing, not the pivot bushing replacements described in Alessandro's post above.
