What's the advantage of using the GKTech polyurethane rear subframe bushes?
The polyurethane bushes offer a more solid rear end which equals to a better driver control and feel for the rear of the car. The Gktech polyurethane bushes also raise the subframe 10mm, improving roll centre correction.
What modifications are required, is this hard to fit?
The only modification is for the OEM front brace will need to be slightly bent to reach the mounting holes. Apart from that, no modifications are required. Simply just remove and refit the bushes.
Is there anything else needed for installation?
No, you can use your OEM hardware. In terms of the bushes themselves, they will arrive as shown in the product photo.
Can I install this myself? If so how long will installation take?
Yes, provided you have general mechanical knowledge they are relitively straightforward. Installation time should be around 1 hour once the subframe is out. However, being a suspension componentwe recommend only a trained professional to install this product.
Do these cause much vibration/noise in the cabin?
Not really. Obviously anything solid or more rigid is going to cause an increase in noise and vibration however, I'd hardly say that it's noticeable being Polyurethane. Chances are if you're installing these you've already got coilovers, your car is lowered, you've got an aftermarket exhaust etc. etc.
Do these bushes change the height of the subframe?
Yes, they raise the subframe 10mm, which improves roll center.Will I have to get a wheel alignment after installing these?Considering the subframe has been removed and refitted 10mm higher, this will change your alignment. If any suspension changes are made we do recommend a wheel alignment.
Do I need to remove the OEM inner sleeve when installing these bushes?
Yes, the OEM inner sleeve will need to be removed, which can be seen in the install video above. This needs to be done as the Gktech bushes are a direct replacement of both the inner sleeve and the bush.
