subframe bushings

[Eastcoast SHO]

how would you know if the subframe bushings were replaced not sure what im looking for

 

[1993MTXSHO]

it might be hard to tell with them on the car, but by replaced are you possibly talking about the subframe recall?

 

[Eastcoast SHO]

ok what were the original ones were they rubber or steel and what should be the recall ones

 

[1993MTXSHO]

original are rubber, and the recall isnt on the bushings its on the bolt, what happens is it rusts and your subframe drops off the car, not a good thing. You wont be able ot steer the car and it is a real mess. so call your dealer and see if the recal has been done to your car. or pull back your carpet on the passenger side (easier to get to) and check to see if theres a 1-2" big rubber plug in the floor pan. If there isnt the recall wasn't done.

You can steer, just in a straight line. Also when it drops and can rip out the steering column coupler, damage you exhaust, thats what happened to me last sunday.

so if there is nothing there it wasnt done if it is the recall was done why would there be a rubber plug there?

they have to drill a hole in the floor pans to get the new nut in there for the recall bolts. check them now! otherwise you will pay the big bucks if you find out the hard way. like nrw7 above sorry to hear about that man. good luck to ya
