I am in the process of putting my subframe back into the car. When I went to look at the hardware to connect the subframe back up I can only find two cups and two nuts. Since I removed it about 6 months ago I cannot remember if I am missing the other two cups and nuts.:duh: Chiltons shows there are 4 but the FSM shows only two and the subframe brackets in the front holding the subframe on. Am i missing 2 subframe cups or are there only two? Thanks very much in advance.

Edit: To Clairfy here is a picture of what I am talking about. The Rear has cup washers where as in this picture it does not appear that the front does.http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v160/Shadowhuntr/subframe.jpg?t=1244293642

There are not four, the front ones are brackets, no cups. The cups are only used in the rear.

Go solid and ditch the cups

What would the advantage of doing something like that be?

you would have a more soild feel to it, depending how you drive it (ie: daily driven/weekender) depends on weather to go soild or not, i recently took my soild bushings out cause i felt every rock on the damn road. your choice.
