Anyone have a picture or can take a picture of how the rubber bushing and metal washer suppose to be positioned between the subframe and diff?
I think I have it on right because if I flip it those rubber “arms” touch the diff metal. And if I put the metal washers on top of the rubber bushing it won’t go into the diff hole were right now the rubber bushing goes right into the the whole. Hope this makes sense.
I tried looking for some pics but I can’t find any. I missed snapping a picture before taking the diff off the subframe.
Wanted to add a picture of the subframe all done with all new bushings. Diff also got new gasket which I made my own as they don’t sell one. And new gear oil. Everything turns smoothly.
Waiting on rear wheel bearings and then all the control arms will go on.
Very jealous. I've been needing to drop my rear subframe and replace all bushings for like 8 years and I just keep ignoring it.
Tough job??
With tools not at all. You might as well replace everything else while it’s down.
‘and if your underside is rusted just buy a flameless heat induction tool for those really rusted nuts and bolts. What a great tool that all mechanics should have.
