    Thumbs up Solid aluminum rear subframe bushings

    I recently had a set of these solid aluminum subframe bushings made for my car, and due to peoples requests I had 2 extra sets made, one is already spoken for and 1 available for sale.

    These are machined from T-6061 aluminum, and replace the stock 1 piece rubber mounts with a 2 piece installation. These will need to be pressed in using a shop press, do not expect to be able to install these with a C-clamp. Only other installation notes is that the smaller ones do replace the lower stopper (basically a big washer) and the barrel is about 1/4" longer in total than the stock ones, due to the way they had to be designed, but still allows enough thread to get a lock nut and washer on it fully seated.

    $325 shipped for this last set, pm me for payment details.

    They're cheaper than the original sets DR offered years ago too. Those were $399 shipped. I realize it's an expensive product for your subframe but it's definitely worth it rather than trying to source or custom make bushings. It's a permanent solution too. I plan to install mine this winter.

    We had about 12lbs of aluminium round stock into these b4 machining they were not cheap to get made. If we could do a large quantity it would probably drop the price, but I can't see that happening.

    I doubt they would sell that quickly even in a large batch. They weren't hot sellers originally since stock bushings were still available. Now I'm sure people would rather have a set made out of poly or pour their own. Every once in awhile I would see someone looking for them and many wanted rear subframe/diff solid mounts but I guess they also want a dirt cheap cost too.
