Default Rear subframe camber correction

A while ago I bought a spare from Silviagod which I had a local fabricator weld on some brackets to the outters mounts which I slotted. I then gave it to a local company (Vulcan coatings in Basildon) whom bead blasted it. They then primed and coated it with satin black. I cant believe how good it came out as it looks like new and only cost me £30

Whilst waiting for the machinists to do the head work on my Auto, I spent most of the day today dropping my old subframe. Over the last six months or so I have notice a knocking noise from the rear getting worse. Recently the backend has been feeling very twitchy and now I know why. One side of the subframe bush was not held in at all !

sorry to dig up an old thread, but northerner I've bought the same bushes from MJP, they arrived today.

Holding them up to the hole on the subframe it looks as though they wont't fit with the sleeve still in. Can you confirm that the sleeve has to be removed?

EDIT: looking at the pics it looks as though there are no sleeves in yours, but further confirmation would be nice :P

REMOVE the sleeve to fit! Be careful when removing them and not score the circle as this will rub on the new bushes

when i did mine, i cut through steadily with a hacksaw, then get a screw driver underneath and tap it with a hammer, it will curl the end up and allow it to be knocked out.
