4. Using a pry-bar, pry downward on the subframe connector and insert a block of wood as shown in Image
1. Lift the appropriate subframe connector into place and slide it over the rear of the subframe. Insert the
mount bushing from the top.
5. Remove the block of wood, allowing the subframe to return to its normal location.
6. Using a 9/16” socket, remove the front bolt from the leaf spring mount. (See Image 2)
7. Lift the rear of the subframe connector up until it lines up
with this bolt hole as shown in Image 3 below. Insert the
3/8” x 1.5” bolt, washer and lock washer into the hole and
loosely tighten.
8. Insert the lower portion of the body mount bushing on the
front and insert the supplied new bolt and washer. Loosely
tighten until the subframe is drawn back up against the floor
pan. NOTE: If possible, use a jack to raise the subframe.
This will prevent excess stress on the threads of the body
mount bolt and nut.
9. Using the holes in the front subframe connector box as a drill
guide, drill through the factory subframe with a ½” drill bit.
See Image 4. It may be necessary to remove the exhaust or use a 90 degree drill to gain access to the
inside drill area.
10. Insert the ½” x 1” bolts, washers and nuts into the holes and
tighten to 110 ft/lbs.
11. Using the remaining rear holes in the back of the subframe
connector as drill guides, drill up through the floor pan
using the ½” drill bit. See Image 5.
12. Inspect the area around this mounting location for gaps
between the subframe connector and floor pan. Due to
production variance, age, vehicle damage, etc., it may be
necessary to insert a shim washer into these areas before
installing the mounting bolts. BMR supplies 8 shim washers for use in these locations.
13. Insert the bolts from the top using the appropriate sizes illustrated in Image 3. NOTE: it may be
necessary to pull the carpet back to gain access to these holes.
14. Once the bolts are inserted, install a washer and nut on each
bolt then tighten to 110 ft/lbs.
15. Tighten the 3/8” bolt to 25 ft/lbs.
16. Tighten both front body mount bolts to 180 ft/lbs.
17. Repeat steps 2-16 for the other side.
18. Re-install the rear seat.
