Subframe bushing shims - 03/18/17 05:11 PM
OK, we replaced the left side subframe bushings so far today, gonna get on the right side shortly.
I really need to know that what I did is ok for now.
The front subframe bushing stand hole is too big from deterioration. This is the one directly underneath the firewall.
I put a shim on top and on bottom of stand to cut down the hole size. I used .035" galvanized plate. I realize this is a temporary fix until I buy a welder. I tightened the bolts to 96 ft/lbs.
Q: have I done anything very dangerous??? or am I ok for now???
thanks bill v
