Subframe Bushing

[It's SHO Time]

Well when I replaced my tranny like 3 monthes ago, I went to put the passanger rear subframe bushing in after I just ran the bolt up a little and now I cant back the bolt just keeps turning and you can hear the nut hitting the sides of were the nut is. I hope you guys know what im talking about and can help he out a little. Do you think I should weld a nut on the outside of the frame thing where the nut is and then run the bolt up with the bushing, because right now I dont have the bushing in and am getting tired of the squeking noise.

thanks,
Justin

Bad, bad idea to run without a bushing in. We had to cut a flap in a subframe because of this put a couple welds on the nut.

Good luck. It's not fun any way you look at it. frown

Why is it bad to run with out the bushing? I just got back from a 350 mile rode trip with it and it ran way smooth and no problems, and I got AWSOME gas milage.

It's just not safe. Period. It's like driving around with only three lugnuts. Not a good idea.

I just did mine and the bolst fell in side i cut some flaps too and put some vise grips on the nut till it tightened and the nut will catch the notch in front. you will be all set
