05 S55 Front Subframe bushing issue?


I picked up an 05 S55 and took it into an small shop to get lower control arms installed and he noticed that there was some shifting on these bolts that connect the front subframe. He said this is an urgent issue that needs to be addressed. He didn't want to do anything to the car as he said he wasn't an expert in these vehicles. I've been doing some research and cannot seem to find any bushings for the front of the front subrame, jsut some rear subframe bushings. Do the shifting in the picutres look like something is missing or broken? If there is a front bushing of a front subrame, if anyone has a part # handy, would be greatful if it can be forwarded. Thanks!

Not sure

I do not have direct experience with those bolts. But thanks for making me aware of them.

I would suggest a dealer visit to get the real skinny. At least they could share all drawings and parts and help explain what causes the movement.
