I wanted to do all the subframe bushings in my car, but didn't want the hassle of dropping it down. Using a pair of screwdrivers and WD40 the stock bushings popped out with a bit of muscle.

I installed the standard Energy bushings, but only the lower piece and then doubled up the washers on the bottom side. This raises the subframe as high as possible in the chassis.

Also did the front crossmember the same way.

To make everything extra solid and rigid I spun up a couple of aluminum bushings for the rear outer mounting points. This is often overlooked and some testing with a pry bar showed a lot of movement in this area.

On the rear, an aluminum spacer pushes the subframe up solid against the chassis. I've installed delrin rear subframe bushings before, and this is probably 98% as good for 2% of the hassle.
