Thanks. My car came with solid motor and tranny mounts. Will add a DSB.
My experience getting the bushings out…
Subframe - used the drill and heat gun method on 2 of the uppers. Used heat and the bushing tool that spdbrake recommended (once it arrived) on the other 3. The tool states it cannot be used on the subframe. It works and is easier than drill and heat.
Differential cover - drill and cut.
RTAB - cut 2 notches in old RTAB to clear bushing tool. Pulled right out.
Wheel carrier - bushing tool. They came out like butter.
Control arms upper inner - drill and cut method.
FYI... new mounting brackets are available from Iconic for $211/ea,; no torque specs given. Optimistic about repairing the old ones. New 10.9 bolts get welded in tomorrow. Now just waiting for other parts to arrive.
