Hey Everyone,

I was in the process of installing Subframe collars on my 89 S13. I was able to get the drivers rear installed (after a lot of persuasion) but I cannot seem to get the passenger rear on. When I look at the mounting point, it looks like something other than a bolt. Am I missing something?

Here is a pic to help visualize.Thank you in advance for the help,Josh

Thinking is should look like this. -(Thanks to Positron_) This is what my Driver side looked like.



Here is what my Pass side looks like.

it will take perswasion for sure but more or less depends on how well your subframe drops and what not

the pic you have is sorta hard to see haha

but that does look strange but it really shouldnt be any different than the picture above...

hmm .. that kinda looks like the bushing is ripped appart and the inner collar of the bushing is seized on the pin ...

That seems to be what I am hearing. Any ideas on how to unseize it?
