[Shotimes] Anyone Heard of a Sub Frame Bushing Recall?

[bjshov8]

It was easy for me to see when my bushings went- the engine was running, the
hood was open, the drivers side window was rolled down, and I was standing
outside of the car turning the steering wheel back and forth.  I noticed
that the engine was moving side to side (towards the left side of the car or
right side of the car) more than I thought it should when I moved the wheel.

I'm in Texas so didn't have much rust of the bolts or internal nuts but the
rubber bushings were not in very good shape.  I installed the recall kits at
the back and aluminum bushings all around.

For those just tuning in- what caused the recall was the corrosion of bolts
and nuts in some climates and partial dropping of the subframe.  The recall
provided a new bolt and a new nut to mount internally, but did not replace
the bushing itself.
