So recently I swapped my front subframe bushings and had to remove the steering rack. When i put it back on the steering wheel was towards the right when the car is going straight. So i removed the steering wheel and turned it one notch on the spline, and its just a tiny bit to the right. I got...
I bought a set , they dont come with grease, so I used Superlube /syncolon synthetic grease on the insides, no grease on the upper and lower surface because I want the poly to grip the unibody tight. Can't answer you about the black density.
Regarding these steps, do these need to be torqued with the car at rest with the wheels on, because the TSRM does not show it.
If we can torque with the wheels off, how exactly do the bushing eyelets work? They don't actually grab on to the knuckles?
Ok i removed the washers, it seems the 2 washers at the rear are deformed ! Now they are nice snug and tight, no way the subframe will move.
However the clunking is still there. It happens whenever the car isnt moving and i put it from N to D. It also happens when I let off the gas abruptly...
So today I managed to install the bushings. I figured I should add a stainless steel washer to spread the load from the center collars.
So I torqued all the bushings up and went for a test drive. I felt something was off. It felt like the subframe was shifting everytime i shifted from N to D...
Its finally in since last week, but the only thing i disagree about his front bushings is reusing the old top hats. There should be new poly tops made, like other makes such as strongflex. The upper bushes should be a little thicker and there should be a metal washer to spread the load. I find...
Looks like i was wrong, i used my pushing jig to get the bushings out and I placed a wood ruler above the rear bushing hole top surface on the subframe, and insert the caliper tail from the bottom, indeed the rear is also 65mm, NOT 58mm as I said earlier, I had difficulty measuring that area...
I am in the midst of installing the rear RonnieK subframe bushings and found something odd.
The thickness of the rear 2 bushing mounts vs the 4 front bushing mounts are very different.
The front 4
and the rear 2
If the subframe thickness is not the same , why are all the 6 bushings the same...
Hi guys, I wanna make some urethane pads/bushings for the front subrame, and I need the upper lip part dimensions as shown in the diagram below, if some one has a subframe out please measure them in mm and share it.
The drawings I made I will share here.
Thanks
I placed the toyota jack with a piece of wood to support the front of the sump. when re installing the steering rack i needed to support the rear of the sump and remove the front sump jack otherwise it was blocking the rack. I say leave the engine in.
I made the mistake of allowing the subframe to go down all the way to the floor. I should have placed something underneath the subframe to keep it lifted a few inches of the ground, that would help tremendously with sliding my standard jacks underneath to lift the subframe up when installing. ...
Hi guys. I am swapping out my stock subframe bushings that has hardened and sagged with a set of Ronnie K softest bushings. Right now I am facing an issue where the only one original rubber top hat is making contact with the subframe "lip" but the rest of the 3 rubber top hat is not touching the...
