subframe bushing question

Post by mckeddie »

My subframe bushings are completely gone in my 95. By gone i mean only the drivers rear is about half there, the other 3 are completely mia. I found some for a 94 to 96 grand prix a guy had bought but never used for cheap. Are these the same as my car will need or do i need to just bite the bullet and order from gm?

Im new to these cars. I just picked this up for a work car the other day for cheap. Already did the upper intake today.

I cant not screw with a car and im already looking for mods to do.

Thanks
Greg

Were they pretty easy to remove or did you just cut the bolts

the bushings from the junk yard were off subframes that were just laying around ,so they were easy to get. the bolts on my car i took out, i didnt need to cut them although they were almost rusted in half. cuting them would have made more work since the nut is inside the body

I would stick to H-bodies only for the bushings.
