[s-cars] Subframe Bushing Replacement (fill 'em up to make them more rigid? Yes/No)

[Mike Fitton]

Fill the sumbitches up.  I have a rather embarrassing mass of window 
weld in my car and it works great, in the places I can use it.  Only one 
word of caution.  Make sure they're completely dry before pressing them 
in...like 48 hours dry.  Had a problem once where it was still runny 
(think eggs) inside and it squirted out a little.  So either that or 
fill them after pressing and don't drive the car for a day or so.

-Cheers!
