FAQ for Subframe Bushing Repair
Q: What should be done when installing a body mount?
A:
You will need to ensure the lower insulator is seated into the frame. The lower insulator should not be loose. The spacer and the corresponding upper insulator are pressed into the lower insulator thus squeezing the frame. The bolt is then inserted through the mount, capturing the lower retainer. The body mount components prevent contact with the frame to the body.

A:
You will need to loosen the adjacent frame insulators to permit the frame to separate from the body. You should not break the fan shroud or damage the frame attachments, such as steering hoses and brake pipes during the replacement of body mounts.
