My '93 Q45T needs new tension rod bushings and rear sub-frame bushings. Please send me a link to aftermarket parts for these bushings. I don't want to buy a new sub-frame just because of the bushings.

You can burn/hammer out the old and replace with hard urethane...............the ride will degrade tremendously= vibration transmission.

The rear subframe has 4 bushings when one goes all are terminal.

We have seen 3 urethaned subframe they were brought to us to fully replace the subframe the driver and family couldn't stand the vibrations.

Thw entire job is ~~$1100 to do it right!

Ive heard a lot of people say that the vibration increase isnt bad... its probably because everything else isnt perfect and the subframe bushings are masking other vibrations.

Believe me it is bad when both are urethane............replaced with new subframe no other changes problem gone.

Depends on whether you want Q or a old truck/ricer ride.
