    Rear Subframe Bushings:

    Hey So over the Weekend i went under the car and noticed that my subframe bushings are cracked.

    What bushings do you guys recommend, also what other Bushings/Stuff i should replaced while having the Rear Frame out?

    thanks.

    Do it all while you have the subframe out. Subframe bushings, trailing arm bushings, brake lines. If you plan on lowering the car I would also recommend the IE weld in camber/toe kit. Also reinforce the swaybar tabs on the trailing arms.

    As for me, I dropped the subframe and did all of the above I used IE poly subframe and trailing arm bushings and replaced the brake lines with stainless braided lines.

    PS: There is a "Brakes, Subframes, and Arms" Forum

          find a used subframe and put on all the new parts to make the swap easier. I got a used SubFrame at a bone yard for $50 and it helped me get the job done in a weekend. Then sell your used one to someone else so they can do the same.
