1979 Camaro Subframe Bushing Replacement

This red 1979 Chevrolet Camaro was in at AMR Automotive for subframe bushing replacement. Here is a look underneath the car and at the removed bushings beside the replacement parts on our workbench in southeast Calgary.

Energy Suspension subframe bushings

The upgrade used Energy Suspension parts to address unwanted movement at the subframe mounts and improve handling and driver feedback.

Old bushings and replacement parts, side by side

The bench photo shows the difference clearly: the removed bushings and hardware are on the right, with the replacement bushings, sleeves, washers and bolts laid out beside them. It is a useful view of the parts involved in this job, beyond what you can see from outside the car.

A look at the mounting points

These underside photos show the subframe mounting areas during the bushing replacement. They are part of the work that normally disappears from view when the car is back on the ground.
