Some of those bushings just take the old fashioned approach.

Here's a link to the write up I'm working on. Go to BMRs site and reference their instructions as well.

It wasn't too bad getting them out. I didn't work on them today, I spent today dealing with an oil consumption issue on my wife's Tahoe. I should have the bushings done sometime tomorrow.

I haven't mentioned in the right up yet. I'm using a set of rhino ramps upfront and 4 jackstands, two holding the car up and two as a back up incase I drop the cradle.

Thanks a lot I've been wanting to see a write up on that job. Hopefully it isn't too much to tackle in the parking lot.

Here is a vid showing the difference... Does not stop it, but does limit it.



I found the same results. Solids eliminated it totally...

cool video thanks a lot. Looks like they do improve it some. I may do those if the cradle bushings look too difficult after reading Mar10's DIY. So is the subframe connectors more of a road race thing?

No, drag or road will benefit. Yes, it is easier to install..
