Mk3 Mondeo Rear Subframe Bushes

Brian · 22-02-2010, 08:59 PM

Got the MOT due next month on the Mondeo (53 plate) and was told at the last MOT it will need the rear subframe bushes replacing

Anyone know if you can buy uprated ones? Or will i be better off just getting standing ones? How hard are they to change?

Cheers Brian

Just got myself a powercoated rear subframe with new bushes fitted for £70 delivered....

Just got to fit it now.....what are they like???

stumasso · 24-08-2010, 10:51 AM

check out the DEFLEX site - they are really cheap and will do the job as well as any of the others arround

saph4be · 24-08-2010, 10:55 AM

you can get a special tool to fit them then it a piece off piss to do you do need a realignment tool as well to be honest unless you have the tools you would be cheaper paying some garage to do it as it only takes a hour at most!

Neil S · 24-08-2010, 12:03 PM

Yep Beef, I thought that worked out pretty well.

It was going to need realigning anyway, and I didn't have the press tool. When you factor that in I thought it was reasonable value to just swap the subframe out.

I think Chris did me a good price on the subframe though.

clarke5700 · 24-08-2010, 12:18 PM

i cant see the need for aa hole new subframe

ive changed a few of thease now with no problems normaly a £50 job for all 4 bushes

Neil S · 24-08-2010, 12:34 PM

I just didn't fancy the chew of pushing the old ones out. That was enough need for me.

Do worn subframe bushes cause the car to kind of sway or wobble at motorway speeds?
