    ireland engineering sleeves too big.

    so i bought ireland engineering subframe poly mounts bushings and i finished tightened it and to my surprise the subframe could still move up and down on the mount.
    there are about 4 or 5 threads to the bolt so i know that its not undertightened.

    WTF how can i fix this

    is there a sleeve or spacer that is supposed to go there or what.

    Did you put the OEM washer back on top before you put the subframe back in? Did you put the plate on the bottom before you put the nut on. I've installed countless sets of IE subframe bushings with no issue.

        Yeah there was a washer, it was just fused to the center of the old bushing. Time to take everything back off and do it right!

          x3 on the washer, it's a big washer (bout 3" diameter and 3/16" thick)...

            The washers your looking for are the 'Stop Washers'.

            Part Number # 33 33 1 127 496

            Your can order them new from the dealer for about $20 for both.
