I have never dropped the rear subframe. I have an s52 in the garage, but I am not ready for the swap. I plan to start that swap AFTER this winter. I really want to run the car this winter. But, the brake line has failed. I am extremely busy right now and was hoping there was a quick repair for this, rather than dropping everything. Any ideas?

Thats all the bushings needed for the subframe, rear trailing arm bushings (rtabs) and differential mount. I suggest getting new bolts also.
Rear subframe bolts (2) 51718181460
Rear subframe bolt nuts (2) 33331126136
Trailing arm bolts (4) 33321136406

Thats what I did about 2.5 years ago and love it. You can go OEM mounts or another brand but R3vShift bushings are great IMHOLast edited by 88BlackS-ETA; 08-11-2016, 09:29 AM.
