Sub Frame Bushings
 
Hey guys,

I recently upgraded the bushings with the aluminum spacers. They were kind of hard to get in there, but after an hour of prying they finally all went in. Nice and snug. I used a gun to make sure everything was tight. Only problem my friend was zipping one of the 12mm bolts in place and "slipped" and broke the bolt inside. Its on one of the front bushings on the passenger side. Beside the big 17mm bolt that goes into the bushing there are two supporting bolts on the bracket. The 12mm bolt towards the center of the car on the passenger side bracket broke, And I NOW hear a clunk coming from the trunk and I never did before.

Its on slow acceleration and wen i go over bumps you can hear a bang. I dont hear the bang inside, only outside the car. I have new shocks and springs, I am just wondering if this is normal because they are metal verses rubber previously. I looked down there last night and everything looks really tight and good. Any suggestions?

You should expect it to be noisier than it was before, because like you said, its metal contact now.
