S14 subframe bushings issue help needed

[Jonslams14]

Hey guys so I pulled my rear subframe the other day because the energy suspension poly bushings the previous owner installed were crazy loose. Turns out the previous owner cut out all the collars on the front ones and also cut the 6 tabs that hold the bushings in. Is there anything I can do about this or am I hooped.
Any help appreciated Thanks

Go full solids or get a used subframe and add new polys

Sikky ones are awesome

I street my car alot which is the only reason I don't wanna go solid... are the vibrations / noise really bad with solids?

Its a noticeable sound difference but it tolerable for street driving, what gets really loud is when you go to solid diff bushings as well lol

Hmm okay, looks like I don't really have a choice at this point hopfully it won't be to bad :/ is it just lots of vibration or noises ? both aha?

Id find a rear subframe, clean it, rust treat it, spray and install new bushings.

they used to make nismo subframe bushings back in the day. i think those are discontinued though. I've never had a clean stock subframe so i can't tell you how much more comfortable it is lol. Solid bushings do make more noise and the ride is stiffer for sure. if you want comfort definitely get rubber bushings.

Yeah that's what I was thinking but thing is I'm from Canada and there's not much around here for subframes lol will be next to impossible to find one

Solid subframe bushings aren't that bad. A little bit of noise but its very worth it. s14s have plenty of sound deadening that takes a lot of sound and vibrations out. I have PBM subframe risers and would not recommend them if you are just trying to put new bushings in and go. you have to reroute the ebrake cables and do a lot of work to get the cables to not touch the driveshaft. I have heard the sikky ones are great. Hope that helps!

you can still get the nismo subframe bushings

considering what passes for a road in canada its not advisable to use solid anything on a street car

I had solid subframe bushing in my last street car. They barely made any noise and this was on some of the shittiest back roads of central Louisiana/east Texas when I was stationed there.

I had SPL bushings, they came with little rubber isolater disks to put between them and the body.

I think we need pics. I've removed plenty of subframe bushings before and I have no idea what 6 tabs you're talking about. The bushings are pressed into the frame, there are no "tabs" holding them in.

Gktech makes a poly bushing that raises the subframe also. Basically a subframe riser but poly instead of solid

You may want to look into the whiteline ones. They are urethane and install like the solid units
