Front Subframe Bushings

Anyone replace these or have these go out on them? What's the symptoms and can they be replaced? How much do you think this should cost?

Well I had to have my car towed for about 100 miles and it wasn't flat bedded. So I think its torn a bit.

I dont even know how to accurately diagnose this problem if it indeed is my problem. Most mechanics just kind of eyeball it and say its fine. I need someone to objectively assess it.

I have never dropped the subframe....I will be in the next week....from what I understand, you wanna make sure the bushing/boot looks fine and there are no signs or tear (there will be some signs of wear ofcourse).....

will keep you posted on what I see

They are sure pita to replace. I've dropped my subframe once to replace my clutch but once you've done it , it should'nt be hard to do. Just gotta remove some motor mounts and support the motor

i believe they can take that much (and more) abuse.
track time will be harsher than simple towing (right?)

it's not like the tow truck towed your car like the poor vault in fast and furious 5...


i'm curious how track guys' subframe bushings are.

My thoughts exactly. The tow truck should have had a hold of your car via roughly the same path that the load normally is on the sub-frame. It "should" have been lifted by the front tires which in "theory" shouldn't have been too out of the ordinary.

Still can't hurt to check....especially if you are already going to be doing other work to the front end.
