I love the fact that you have demonstrated the removal and re-installation processes by crawling under the car and using jack stands. Not everyone has a car lift. I'll be doing the same to my IS in few weeks. Great job.

: same spec, and I'm about to find out what is the weird sound on the back when I get in the second gear and sound like "dup". not sure is bush or something. hopefully is not that bad 🙂

I'll be replacing the rear sub-frame in my IS300 next week. This was awesome. Thank you!

Just what I needed to see in prep for this summer! I plan to take apart the whole suspension, front and rear and restore it all seen as the UK roads haven't been the kindest to the suspension the past 18 years

That rusted diff was giving me fits throughout the entire video, especially when it was put back in with all the other shiny parts. Man I needed you to paint it really, really bad, but oh well. Lol

Absolutely no point in investing anytime into it It's cast iron and if I painted it or powder coated it in less than a year from daily driving it would look like I never did anything

I was looking into some poly for my subframe. I'm in the middle of a turbo kit and I just had my 5 month old son. I want him to experience the car with me but it has to be safe first 😩

I’m in the middle of this process on a rust free Arizona car and will just be reusing the upper control arms. 2 notes for anyone going this route: Rocar makes an upper ball joint for these that can be had for about $50 shipped. Also the bushing that has a lip on it on both sides is actually a 2 piece bushing. I used an air hammer to push it out on both sides pretty easily. The other side is typical, burn it out and make a relief cut. The steel takes much more abuse than the aluminum gs arms poor man mods used but this can be done easily without butchering them!

Hey love your video I’m trying to put this irs on my Toyota pickup and I can’t find any measurements for those 4 points that screw on to the chassis Do you happen to know dimensions of it ?

52:42 that's one of the sexiest subframe assemblies I've ever seen!

Ironically I did the rear upper bushing today with the subframe on the car. Not the hardest just tight quarters

why did you leave out a new spindle bushing?

Exellent and very informative video but the things i didnt like was the metal plates you put like washers on the aluminium arms and the dif that you left it rusty

It would be a very similar process and different bushing kit i think

Just subbed. This encouraged me to order the complete kit (red and yellow) and will be tackling this with my brother. Will definitely have this video on reference but I do have a few questions though. 1. Is it mandatory to drill and press out the sleeves for any of the rears? Can the bushings fit into the original sleeves? 2. What is the difference in performance w/ the new bushings in comparison to stock? Do you feel/hear more cabin noise? More vehicle vibrations? 3. Does the car handle more solid now w/ regards to steering and vehicle control? Mines is all stock and at 233K miles, I think I'm on the original gas shocks and bushings as bought the car at 112K miles and don't know the history of that maintenance. The wear/tear is starting to show, so all 4 gas shocks are getting replaced at the same time as these bushings. Thanks so much!

@PoorManMods

2 жыл бұрын

Thanks! 1. The only bushing that may fit in the original sleeve is the lower control arm the bushing that I did around 33:00, i cant promise that i will work with the OEM sleeve though, but it did look possible. Everything else I did in this video regarding sleeve removal is 100% necessary. 2. Absolutely zero downsides, NVH has not noticeably increased, and the car just feels better. It feels more predictable, less slopping and just more refined. I have not done any high performance driving though, I hope to autoX the car next years. I also did all 4 shocks not too long ago (miles wise) With new shocks and all new front and rear bushings the car drives amazing. Best of luck with the project!

I hope you torqued those diff mounting bolts afterwards because they are definitely not tight enough
