Hi all, I recently picked up and 89+ rear subframe from a JDM parts place to replace the cracked one in my 88. As I was about to put it up into the car today I noticed a slight difference at the 2 rearmost mounting points. I have solid subframe bushings and as I went to put them on, I realized that the mounting points have additional "bushing" (i guess you'd call it) that doesn't allow the solid bushings to drop onto the subframe.
Im thinking about just having a friend machine the center holes to fit around the extra sleeve thats on the JDM subframe. Anyone have a better solution? Does this extra sleeve allow me to ditch those 2 solid bushings all together? Should the gold colored peice be removed somehow? Thanks in advance.
Heres my 88…
