I thought that recall was for the 450's. I guess I would just need to call the dealer, give them the VIN# and they can check that way?

I looked up the subframe kit on Fastlane and it shows 4 rubber mounts. Now I am a little confused because I am also looking at a diagram of the front suspension in my Performance Products catalog. It shows only 2 mounts. I have looked under the car and the mounts that I see that are rotted away are not up by the coil spring, but just forward and behind it. I guess it would help if Fastlane had diagrams like PP, becuase I see what's shot, I am just not sure what they are called. The whole subframe assy. appears to be bolt to the body in 6 places, 3 on each side. The big mount in the middle near the coil spring and one smaller mount forward and aft of that. It is the smaller ones that are completely gone on my car. The PP catalog doesn't even show these as being available. So when I looked up the "kit" on Fastlane is shows me 4 mounts, bolts, plates, etc. So I am throughly confused. Could anyone clear this up for me? The kit by PP is for the big mount near the coil spring and cost $42, whereas FL is $74, but it has twice the parts. I am getting a headache.
