[s-cars] Re: subframe connectors

[steve powers]

The subframe bushings are in fact an item which one should consider 
replacing. I've got Delrin bushings in my car. It eliminates that 
"intermediate set" one gets when turning in - caused by the subframe moving 
on the bushings.

Bill - I don't know (& kind of doubt) that the subframe(s) would be mounted
to the car with any kind of rubber bushings.  I'm pretty sure from the RSB
installs, that the rear subframe at least isn't.

OTOH, most of the moveable suspension parts that are connected to & hung off
the subframe are couple to it via rubber or urethane or similar material
bushings.  I believe these can & do wear or deteriorate over time, like
engine mounts etc., and can benefit from occasional replacement.
