Shop installed my rear subframe risers upside down

[RampageRR]

So I just got my car back from being at a shop for an entire month - long story and really hoping I don't have to bring it back at this point.

I got underneath to take a look at everything, as the shop installed Condor Speed Shop rear subframe riser bushings, RTAB bushings, and a rear diff mount. The spacers for the diff mount are in place (to orient the driveshaft angle properly), but the subframe risers are installed with the thicker part at the top on the body rather than underneath at the bolt side.

Is there a way to get them out and swapped top to bottom without having to fully drop the subframe again? Is there any possible way to sneak them out with the subframe just lowered slightly on a jack since they're not factory rubber bushings?

If I can do it on the floor in my garage, I think I'd rather do it on my own and know it was done correctly. Not to mention not having my car sit there for another month before it gets done.

If I have to drop everything on my own, does anyone know if the Condor bushings come out easily or if I'd have to get them pressed out with special tools? This sucks so bad, I just wanted my car back to take out for a drive this weekend and now this...

Funny, that's the second time I've heard of this happening. Some mechanics don't know how to use google it seems, I am of the opinion that Condor should etch an arrow or the word "BOTTOM" into the half of the bushing with the thicker flange.

You don't need to press them out, but they aren't "easy" to get out. If you pry carefully around the edges between the lip and the subframe tube the bottom one should work out easily enough, then you use a hammer and a piece of wood to knock the upper one out. Pressing them back in should be doable by hand You should only need to drop the subframe about 6" to get the top part of the bushing out. Not sure if you'll have to disconnect brake lines to do that but you probably will.

Thanks! I ended up pulling the whole subframe in my garage on Monday since I was off work. I was able to use a rubber mallet and walk them out, so it wasn't too bad once everything was out on the ground.

Condor does supply a sheet with directions and pictures indicating the direction of the bushings, so I'm inclined to say this is all on the shop not reading instructions and guessing, which is unfortunate. And lazy.

Either way it's all fixed now and drives great. Hopefully this ends up helping someone with a similar issue. Actually I hope no one has to ever go through that, but I guess stuff happens.
