Rear Subframe Bushings

[MrWindsurf]

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

I have some pineapples you can have cheap if thats what your talking about. Easy to do yourself if its just these rings.

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?

Depends how much money you have to spend Doesn't really matter too much though, as far as I can think all the other bushes are on fairly easily removable components.
