After reading and rereading all the responses provided by the forum gurus, I've decided to take the plunge and do the subframe bushings myself. The dealer quoted me $2,800 P&L to replace 4 shocks, F&R subframe bushings, F&R sway bar bushings and 4 spring pads. I’ve just received the rear subframe bushing kit. Paid $87. I’ll also order the rear sway bar bushings and links for $40. I feel comfortable replacing the rear subframe bushings at this time, thanks to all the input provided. Dave, you made the whole process sound straight forward, thank you.
