Suspension Installation Suggestions
Hey all,
I'm looking for some advice on a good shop that can install my Pfadt Stage 3 ZL Spec Suspension Kit. (i.e. Sub-Frame bushings, Springs, Sways, trailing arms, alignment, etc...) I am looking for someplace close to home (North Eastern PA or North Western NJ). Does anybody have a good recommendation? |

Actually I thought the subframes were really easy too with jacks and jack stands. With a partner of course.

I did mine with just a jack and jack stands. No partner (wife was home just in case). With the car on jack stands, loosen one side of the subframe and take out the bolts on the other, supporting the subframe with the jack. heat the bushing mount area with a propane torch and using a socket as a press jack the subframe up, pushing the bushing out. This method was posted by Rob@wretchedmotorsports in another thread. The fronts came out very easy, the rears took a little more work because of their size. I never even had to take the stock exhaust off.

Sawsall works. I had mine done but we did my friends on jack stands in my garage. Annoying but not really hard.
