Rear subframe spacers...

Im about to order some subframe spacers so the clunk noise will stop in the rear. Will I need anything else to install? or do i just use those spacers and thats it? Do I need to replace anything else to make them fit like the old bushings? thank you

You just need the spacers. They do not replace the old bushings, its more like a sandwhich. The spacers usually consist of eight pieces, four for the top and four for the bottom. The ones for the top are usually slotted, allowing you to slide them into place without entirely dropping the entire subframe. The installation process is very easy.

should be fine with pretty wore bushings, thats kind of the point of the spacers, all you really need is a jack, jackstands, and a set of sockets

They are not welded, at least they shouln't be, if they are sell your car because the previous owner was crazy. Seriously though, they might require a little force but should come off with just basic tools.
