94 Q45 Liquid-Filled Bushings between body and frame

[off2sobe]

1994 Q45-- How do you replace the liquid-filled bushings between the body and the frame? I have one that has busted (left rear). Are there 4 total?

No one has yet found a replacement except for polyurethane like in the Z32 subframe.

Thats how you want to replace them. Everyone has said that the poly dont add any sort of vibrations and really tighten the rear end up.. no more wheel hop!

Everyone has said that the poly .... really tighten the rear end up.. no more wheel hop!

How would polyurethane bushings vs. OEM silicon filled rubber bushings on the rear subframe affect wheel hop?

[elwesso]

Less play in the rear subframe.....

check out suspension technology for the poly bushings also get the bushings for the rear end best suspension upgrade i have done the other option is replacing the entire rear crossmember

Than OEM? I don't think that would affect wheel hop at all.

It is more a function of springs, damping and coeffcient of friction of the tires. Subframe location will be fundamentally the same regardless of type of bushings employed.

So....has anyone actually changed them out? If so, can you describe the process?

Have you done a search... mark86T did an EXCELLENT writeup!!!

Theres also one as a sticky in the suspension forum, for a 240 but its just the same.
