It’s Done!

Installation is the reverse of removal. Ha! right! Try putting the subframe in without a helpful neighbor. Damn thing can really not want to line up. Getting the engine mounts to line up can be a bitch. Swaybar bushings can too, but thankfully I had Vise-Grips. Next time need 16mm wrench for swaybar links. Car seems okay now. Less darty, but could be due to more than just installing the bushing bracket correctly. New AVS’s all around with stiffer walls and smaller diameter may be helping too. We’ll see how the alignment goes at Eurosport Automotive — yeah, I balked at paying $120 at Autoscope vs. $79 at Eurosport. That place wanted $85 to press bushings in. Eurosport took $50 from my wallet instead. Still pricy. Damn.

Should I get road hazard protection on the tires?
