Subframe help
 
Can anyone help please,
I noticed there was a bit of play in the rear subframe of our S12 so i took off the caps and noticed that the rear subframe bushes have turned into dust!!!:eek:

They need replacing but please dont tell me i have to remove the whole of the rear subframe and get them into a press do I??
Can they be replaced with the subframe still on the car?
Thanks,
Ian.

Might be hard to get in there thats the only issue. I managed to fit solid ali ones in place on the car.

323ian 07-10-2007 22:48

Do they have to be pressed in mate?

30psi 07-10-2007 22:50

Typically yeah but I reckon they could be walloped in to place. Thats how I did mine

How did you get in there though, drop the subframe right down low?

30psi 07-10-2007 22:53

Yeah

Thanks for your help then mate, sorry for all the questions but how did you get the old bushes out with the frame like that?

Well I got the centre out quite easily and then used a hacksaw, hammer and some screwdrivers to butcher the outer sleeve

Think i will have to have a go this way first before i pull the whole of the subframe out. Just think that they new ones will take a press to push them in though, those alloy ones may have been slightly smaller than the stock ones.
