Hi guys,
Im about to buy some locking collars to get rid if the wooly/sloppy feeling in my car.

Now I've checked the subframe bushings and it looks to me that the front top bushings are bigger than the rear top bushings.

Is this correct? Is something wrong? I dont know how oem bushings should look like to compare with.

YEA mine look the same way i bought the slip on collars but they still don do shit. Best bet is to get the solid bushings but that requires some effort and a lil bit of elbow grease. (and a torch)

they look normal.

and dam lazysk8er i was going to put the collars on the car i just got last week instead of pulling my old subframe off the old chasis with solids in it but looks like i have alot of shit to do.

i was carefull cuz ive seen a lot of people retighten the bolt after installing the slip on spacers and there is still a small gap since the car is still jacked up. so they keep using the impact gun and snap the bolt and its not fun. so i only tightened it back to where it was i marked it with whiteout.

:rofl: i've done it that way...
it's easier to throw the bushings in the freezer for a few hours to a day before you put them in. they'll slip right in if the subframe is clean.

Gonna get myself the locking collars since they're cheap enough to try. If not ok, then the torcher will begin for the poly's.
