[s-cars] all new bushings in the front, wheel rubs mud flap even worse

[Fred Munro]

Hi Konstantine;

You can see the subframe bushings from under the car, but looking at them
won't tell you much unless they are badly deteriorated. Your best bet would
probably be to put the car on a lift and use a 5-foot bar to pry on the
frame to see if it moves around easily on the bushings. It should be fairly
rigid and should return to it's original position if you can move it at all.
I do know it took a lot of effort to move mine with the bolts loose when we
were shifting it to adjust the alignment.

Fred,  I don't know what shape subframe bushings are in.   Can one see
them?  How to check them?
I installed 2B camber plates (last group deal) and the alignment is dead
spec.
