Why Subframe Bushings Matter

Subframe bushings are critical components that cushion your vehicle’s subframe from the body, absorbing vibration and maintaining alignment.

When bushings wear out, you’ll often notice:

Clunking noises when turning or hitting bumps
Loose or wandering steering
Uneven tire wear
Poor suspension handling

If you’re noticing these issues, it might be time for a full steering and suspension inspection and possibly a bushing replacement.

How We Handle Stuck Bushings

Rubber bushings fuse to metal over time, making removal tricky. To do the job properly: ✅ We use heat to break the bond safely.
✅ We press out the remnants with specialty tools (no hammering or shortcuts).
✅ We clean and prep the bore before pressing in new bushings.
✅ We inspect nearby control arms, tie rods, and shocks and struts for related wear.

This ensures your vehicle rides smooth and handles like it should when the job’s done.
