98 S70, Subframe bushing replacement needed?

Post by theWIFES_S70 »

Hey guys, just wanted to get some feedback here. Do you think these bushings need replacement? I read on here that there should be no space between the plate and the teeth and well, there is space here. I also have one plate that is completely messed up. (Not sure how that happened...) Would this cause any sort of weird, "only sometimes there" clunking? Need to order my new hood release cable and looking for parts to get my free shipping in order! :lol: Also, is it advisable to change all four at the same time? Thanks!

You need to replace the bushings and the big washers. Do all 4 at once.

Sigh, that's what I was thinking... Then the endlinks and then the trailing arm bushings...

The Neverending Story... Thanks for the input!
