So, once again, I am in need of some parts that have failed on my car.
I am fairly sure this is a sub-frame bushing. I am looking for a part number (quickly), so I can place an order tonight and hopefully have some parts for this weekend.
Pictures of part in question:
I am a little concerned that the metal part (I think it was metal) on top looks like it has been bent fairly badly. I am wondering if replacing this could be a hassle.
I am thinking this may also be playing some role in my car vibrating a lot at idle.
My main guess is that my rear, lower transmission mount is completely torn in half. I got in with a pry bar and had no issues just moving the transmission around. I am going to order the two lower mounts. While I'm replacing those, I want to look at replacing the part above as well.
Other useful info:
I have had my front and side engine mounts replaced at 100k before purchasing the vehicle.
The top tranny mount I replaced 2 weeks ago.
Lower compliance bushings replaced about a month ago
Vibration at idle has gotten worse after replacing the compliance bushings and tranny mount, making me think each bad mount/bushing I have replaced keeps magnifying the other ones that are bad.
Stabilizer bar bushing on drivers side is also bad
Car shakes through steering wheel and floor at speeds of about 70+
I cured my low speed (20-25MPH) shuddering by raising the coilovers slightly in the front.
Not sure I would have ever thought to look at the "Front Beam - Rear Beam" section. I don't understand how some of these parts are categorized. All the parts have "sub-frame" in the name, why did they not name the category "Sub-Frame?!"
