greetings all!
i'm attempting to change the subframe bushings on my 84 300D.
seems to be a fairly simple procedure; got richard easley's step by step description, but my first attempt had to be aborted.
jacked up the rear end (both wheels off ground - this may be the
problem, yes?) supported suspension front end with a bottle jack; removed three bolts from spider plate; relieved pressure on
jack to allow susp. to drop, but it only dropped about 1/2 inch.
prying didn't help without leaving pry bar jammed between the space and that wasn't wide enough to get my hand in there or
manipulate my removal "tool". easley's article doesn't mention
anything about raising the wheel with a jack, but i attempted that
also and that seemed to just tighten everything up.
where am i going wrong?
also the bushing kit only contains the large rubber bushing and
bolts, but not the rubber stopper on the floor. shouldn't that
be replaced also? from what i could feel, that was mighty spongey.
your revered guidance is greatfully accepted. best thing i ever
did for this car was join this forum
!!!
