Creative Steel Rear Subframe Bushing Install
I installed a set of Creative Steel’s rear subframe bushings today and the install was pretty straight forward. The front bushings take some doing to remove but the tool they rent worked perfect.
I thought my car would squat on accelerating from the air bags, but it was flex from the subframe bushings. My stock bushing were in good shape too.
On another note, I had a bunch of water in the body of my car that came out when I removed my rear subframe bolts. The bolts showed corrosion as well.
I had a client a few months ago that broke a subframe bolt on a stock E63. I am curious how many vehicles have corrosion on the bolts like mine did. My car shows absolutely zero signs of rust or corrosion any where else.

My front one split during extraction but then I’m using a puller to get it out. I’ll cut the rest of it out today. Expect the other one to be the same. Rears popped out rather quickly. Waiting for my race set to arrive now. My subframe is on the floor getting refreshed so it couldn’t be a better time to get the bushings updated too.
