wicked tunning subframe collars DIY

[dat925stunna]

ok i wanted subframe bushings for the longest now to eliminate wheel hopso i purchased these subframe collars from ebay made by a company called wicked tunning...



they come in a nice finish



ok these things are slotted so you dont have to bring the subframe downthey also crush your existing bushings to make a solid bushingyou'll need a 12mm socket,and a braker bar,a 11/16 socket and a jack of your choice

start by jacking up the car then removing the two 12mm bolts then wen you remove the 11/16 nut the corner of the subframe should come down an inch or so that should be enough to slide in the top collar/bushing in









then put that piece held by the 11/16 nut back in then tighten till you cant no more thats wen you know your done...and jus repeat 3 more times till you cover all four corners

Have you tested them yet, did it get rid of your wheel hop?

wow these things really eliminated the wheel hop along with my tein HR coilovers but the pros is well you got a solid rear the cons is you hear everything that goes on back there plus i have a welded diff so ya its gonna sound like if your car was gutted even though mine has full interior

I put solid aluminum bushings in my car and it really didnt make much of a difference sound wise. I put some rubber walshers inbetween the body of the car adn the bushings so there would be no metal to metal contact. Kinda like what NIPerformance.com bushings have if you can find a pic im to lazy and im at work.

FYI - Nissan doesn't use 11/16 nuts... its a metric vehicle.

I put rubber washer to reduce the noise.

It does not fully eliminate wheel hopbut it does elimate that floating feeling in the rear when taking corners
