Ah, if only we had budget for that!
But in the mean time, we're a little busy with a rear subframe bushing project
We're going with the Turner bushings
They are aluminum and delrin
So what do you need to do first? Drop the rear Sub-Frame. Which means drop the rear everything.
It's not often we have the whole back end of the rear drivetrain on the garage floor.
Now to remove the old bushings. You'll need a bushing removal/install kit. HP Autowerks rents one.
Putting the bushing catcher underneath, the long bolt thru with the pushing and stopping washers and go at it with the impact gun. It takes a while and it vibrates like crazy.
Old Bushings out.
Now install the new ones. Be sure to have the flatter sides of the aluminum part aligned right with the rear subframe (perpendicular to the travel direction of the car). Delrin from up top, Aluminum from the bottom, bolt thru with the squeeze washers and hit with imapct gun.
Now to figure out how to get the rear subframe back in.
