    Subframe bushing location??

    I searched and read til my eyes hurt. Found a lot of good info, but not what I need.

    Anyways, I am trying to determine what suspension components to replace on my car. What is the best way to inspect the rear subframe bushings.

    I have some bad clunking coming from the suspension. I know I need to replace the diff bushing, and one side of the rear swaybar is broken off the trailing arm. They are susp techniques sways...how can this be reinforced so that it doesnt break?

    About the rear sway...

    Of course if one side is broken you effectively have no rear bar. Ireland Engineering bars were one of the first upgrades to my autocross car 3 years ago. After 2 or so events the mounting broke free from the trailing arm, it was THEN that I learned if you upgrade your bars and/or drive hard you must reinforce the mounts.

    Turner sells the reinforcement tabs for $25, or you can make them/have them made fairly easily. I had my mechanic make me some tabs that are nearly identical to the ones Turner sells and I have not had a problem since. Here's the link to the turner ones
