Changed the subframe bushings but.. - Purplecomputer - 03-18-2012

but.. they wont go all the way in. I tightened the big bolt which kinda looks like an AK47 bullet all the way in and its tight as can be but the bushings stick out a little.

Do I NEED to make sure they are properly in place or will they just sink in?

btw, the rear end is very tight now Wink

Were the new bushings significantly smaller than the old ones? Did you oil the threads or anything? When I pulled mine it al went back together no problem

The new bushings are a very tight squeze. Almost to the point were i would need to have some sort of tool to press them in i cant push them in with my hands. Also i never removed the subframe to do this job.
