Sub-frame bushing collars for the rear. Takes the slop out of the rear suspension. China, I can't wait to hear how they feel.

Ive got the rear 4 pcs on...the mounts were pretty seperated.....i'll post close up pics of what mounts look like at 210k miles.

Ok enough typing, the gloves w/ dirt are making hte keyboard black.

Car is done, on the ground....clean up and test drive time.....im posting to check how long it took me =)

[elwesso]

45 mins... not bad... took me longer because I had a few recalcitrant bolts that refused to come out.....

[chinaonnitrous]

Just some pics if anyone decides to do this also...

REQUIRED TOOLS Long flex head ratchet, great for getting into random angles 1/2" drive. 17MM for all the bolts. 14mm 3/8" drive ratchet with 14 mm, to remove braces for bushings near front of car. Optional box/gear wrench for 14mm.In progress, note cut in spacer to enable sliding it in without dropping whole subframe. THIS IS KEY, its awesome to slip it in.Life after 210k miles, note rubber tears.....I guess the spacer will be its savior.Final product.

Saftey first, use jackstands and proper tools.

tighten to 80ftlbs, and brackets to 40ft lbs. Give it a good *ummmmpfh*

I'll be back with a report on how it feels.

Car's acceleration feels much more snappy, can definatly feel it. A little more vibration is transfered through the car, aside from teh worn transmission/cat & motor mounts there was already vibration at 1500~3000 rpm. Now there is slight vibration while decelerating through thoes RPM's.

I guess i'll see how changing all the other mounts will help.

Bottom line, get yourself a set.
