Can be done without any tools...
Re: rear subframe bushes/tool Leeds
I bet it could, but I would suspect it turns a hour job into a few days.

Re: rear subframe bushes/tool Leeds
Car on a lift, wheels off, take it up, disconnect level sensor. Electric saw, cut half of metal bush surround, hammer bush out. New one in (a bit of oil will help), support subframe with jack or ....anything, drop the car down. Done. Do it one by one. Side by side 3-4h for all 4.
3-4h for all 4.Re: rear subframe bushes/tool Leeds
sounds a tad drastic that don't it
not sure about the electric saw bit tbh

Re: rear subframe bushes/tool Leeds
In relation to this topic...
my vehicle is due for alignment and one of the lower arms had given up at the same time - coincidence. I looked at the following on fleebay and was wondering what your thoughts are... Seems like a budget item to me compared to Meyle, Lemforder and such like.
