Hi All,

I was looking at my car today and noticed that the subframe bushings are cactus :) so obviously they need to be replaced quick smart. Only question is where can i get some Polyurethane bushes for my r32 gtr in Vic they seem to be a hard thing to locate on google. Also is it a do at home job or is it something I should let a suspension shop deal with. Also what are prices am I looking at for a) the bushes and b) an install by a pro

Thanks in advance

Andrew

PM this guy what you are after.

If you talking about replacing the whole subframe bush, that would involve lowering the subframe to get them out. Talk to Traction Tyres in rowville. http://www.tractiontyres.com.au/

When I did the subframe bushes in my 32 I bought the ones from shocksystems, worked well. Absolute prick of a job to do though, a press would have made things easier but even still it's a punish! I called a couple of places to get quotes on getting it done and they said they weren't interested, most places said we just put pineapples in. Pineapples help but replacing the whole bush is soooooo much better

Yeah Pineapples just seem to be a bandaid fix, I would really like to replace the whole bushing. Also I hear it can be an epic job labour wise, Would it be in my best interests to get like most of the rear bushes on the car done at the same time?

      I'm normally copping my own abuse from neglecting my daily drivers. "Those suspension bushes will last a bit more", "Don't worry about the oil leak, just keep topping it up". The project cars I'm always doing things slowly on them as I'm wanting them to be done better, and neater, and nicer. Luckily I don't have to deal with 18 year old Matt's "Learning to wire" stuff in the project cars. And there's only one piece of wiring I'm displeased about in the Landcruiser, and it's about to be cut out... However, the box loads of parts that have been going through this place lately for the Landcruiser... Brake pads Brake Rotors Full handbrake overhaul Wheel Bearings Seals Swivel hubs Steering Boxes Half the suspension joints Shocks Air bags (Ones to go in the rear springs for towing) Water pump Timing kit Lower timing case Harmonic Balancer Radiator Lots of other little seals and shits Gas struts for the bonnet New power window switches And god knows what else I've forgotten... Ha ha ha I have my fingers crossed the pinion seals don't start leaking on the diffs, that the transfer case doesn't leak, and the gearbox input shaft doesn't leak, nor the rear main seal. As they're about the only seals I haven't replaced in the driveline! I'm seriously eyeing off buying new caliper rebuild kits front and rear brake calipers... I'll probably recheck all the valve clearances soon too, and hopefully, it should be all good and sweet to haul some long distance trips again!

      Every time I pull my 3x gauges out of the console and see the crack-addict way that I did the wiring, and I just can't bring myself to tear it all apart and "make it nice", because it is currently working. In fact, the last time I was in there I probably made it worse.

      The best part is when you own the car long enough that you look back and find your OWN ham fisted amateur shit!

      The annoying part about neglect, is when you start to replace one thing, and find ten more broken things. Ham fisted monkey repairs you normally only find out about when trying to do something unrelated! Ha ha   Neglect you can kind of anticipate the huge costs to fix it all. Ham fistedness is normally a shock the first time your work on a new old car, as everything "looked" good before.
