    Note: Not responsible for any damage to you or your car, this worked on my car so will work on yours.

    ***This tutorial assumes you know how to get your car secured on jack stands, if in doubt do NOT attempt this DIY!

    Tools Need not in pic (4 jacks stands & 2 jacks (1) for a safety catch in case jack stand fail (I saw this happen and will NEVER forget it)....safety 1st).

    Torque specs:

    Subframe bolts (65 Ft lbs)
    Strut bolts (25 ft lbs)

    Suggestions:

    I highly suggest a impact wrench.
    I used a 14MM 12Pt socket instead of a E18 on subframe bolts.
    If you can source a 3/34" inside diameter pipe you can skip a few spteps...I got tired of looking for one...I got each bushing out in less than 15 mins.

    Note: I was in the middle of a wavetrac install so my exhaust and differential where not in place, You may have to unbolt half shafts...I will update thread in a day or so.

    Rear bushings:
