FITTING FRONT SUBFRAME rear BUSHES

[@warbed1]

Good video and thank you for posting. I'm doing them on a 08 Sentra and just looking at how to install and the way the mounts are maid it seems that they would work better and last longer if they were put upside down and pressed in from the bottom. that way the subframe would rely more on the bushing then the volcanized rubber to metal. wondering your thoughts on this.

Great video guys, so can you just drop the back of the front subframe down enough to get the rear bushings out, without taking the subframe out?

Thanks for ur comment and Yer just make sure u have a support below for obvious reasons 😉 safety first

[@kjw7556]

how much does a job like that cost including labor ?

[@shanny7583]

Car failed test. Said that the bushing was not lined up properly.. my mechanic said there fine.. now I hv re rest again .. I dont know what to do 😢

[@mobilemechanics2309]

Not quite sure why it would fail the test on not lined up because the lump on the top of the bushing sits flush in a hole If that's not in hole seated properly I'd say also it could be dangerous if it should nock itself seated the bolt may come loose causing issues %100 hope u get it sorted Check they're seated fully into subframe and lump on top seated in car body good luck 👍

My nissans the same now. What did you undo to lower the subframe. Did you leave the wishbones still attached pal

@@martinoreilly9099 as far as i can remember i didnt undo them no cant be sure tho

@@martinoreilly9099 Remove engine undertray and tray immediately behind bumper. Disconnect UJ at bottom of column inside car, pop the rubber column seal into the car from underneath. 6 bolts at rear of subframe, 2 at front. Subframe will hang. Highly recommend Problem Solving Bushings for these (Google them). You don't have to remove the old outer metal from the bush, just burn out what's left of the inner with a blowtorch - hold a heat shield above so you don't torch the car! PSB's will last the life of the car. Not a bad job at all.
