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

[Ron Porter]

One thing to add is that, if the nuts have not been replaced, it's a very
good idea to do so. The nuts in the kit are far better than what the factory
used.

Not too hard to do if the nuts have been replaced. Jack up one side and
remove the bolt take out the old bushing the nuts and bolts ( 4 of these10mm
I think) file 2 groves and install new bushing. The bolt and nut kit is
under $15. New bushings are the latest style Ford P/N (F3DZ-5400155-A
absorber, FIDZ-5400396-A absorber). Need one of each for each side, I paid
under $60 for the bushings. SHONUT sells them probably for less than your
dealer. You can tell if the nuts have been replaced by lifting the carpet
and there will be a 2" plug over the holes. On one of the SHOs I had a
cracked nut. To replace the nuts if not done you will need a 2" holesaw for
your drill. Instructions are in the kit where to drill holes. Bend the tabs
with a pry bar replace the nuts. Without having to drill -1/2 hour per side.
