So I took my car in, cause I was hearing some funky **** in the back. It turns out my rear subframe bushings are totally shot. What do you guys recommend I do. I was looking into some subframe bushings from spl parts. A penny for your thoughts.

Thanks in advance

In every application I have needed.. I go for the urethane bushings...I prefer the street course style and they just give me a more positive feel...maybe some would say "harsher"...but not enough to matter...

now wheres my change?

So are you saying maybe those solid bushings + the urethane spacers? I cant find a place that has urethane bushings

Yeah..sorry...I appologize for the confusion... I always just refer to them as urethanes...

just a note...if you have the cash (yeah right huh) if you are going to be replacing bushings...now would be a good time to upgrade the hard parts as well...I decided not to when I did mine since money was a little tight...but now it looks like I will need new bushings again when I replace everything else..oh well ....

there is a sticky in the wheels and tire section about the SPL solid aluminum bushings. They are a good product. Worth the money.
