Yes.

NVH is a little worse with the aluminum bushings than rubber, but they will never wear out.

Thanks for any help!

I had to open up the holes a little bit to fit them. Just a quick runaround with a carbide and I was set. Still in there fairly tight.

i remember have to do an alignment after i changed out my front and rears.

that is, when you drop the subframe to get to the bushings, doesn't it mess up the alignment?

 

[SHOZ123]

I've dropped my subframe numerous times and when done I use a pry bar to center the subframe and move it as far forward as possible using the alignment slots in the front of the subframe inward from the bushings. The side to side alignment usually is good, assuming the subframe was centered already. So good that alignment is not really needed I've found, again assuming it wasn't needed before hand.

Moving it far forward will affect the Castor and you will be out of spec. But this gives better high speed stability and will not affect wear. It does make low speed steering a bit harder but that is what PS is for.

well mine has never really been aligned since the motor has been installed since the mounts are trashed!

anyways whats the right way to align it when it needs a full alignment? shop or can it be done in my drive way?
