What bushings to buy? Dropping subframe

[nickname]

What bushings are recommended I replace when I drop the subframe to replace my motor?

There’s no subframe bushings I think. But you can get subframe rigid collars from spoon or other knock offs like magic collar or plm.

I could have sworn I read somewhere that the touring has hydraulic subframe bushings or something like that.

But since the subframe is coming off I figured I could do sway bar and tie rod ends and lower control arm bushings.

I'm just curious if anyone else here knows what bushings commonly fail early

If you were considering the Whiteline anti lift kit, that would be the best time to install them. The stock control arm bushings are not known to fail prematurely, but the WL anti-lift kit come fitted with harder durometer bushings.

Spoon collars, Whiteline ALK for sure also RV6 lower control arm spherical bushings.

The Whiteline ALK is installable without dropping the subframe. the Anti-lift kit replaces both rubber inner control arm bushings with poly ones that push the resting position forward ever so slightly. basically all other lower control arm bushings you can get would replace the ALK's. Whiteline sold a full control arm assembly not too long ago and i would recommend getting that so you can also get a roll center adjuster as well as a thicc bushing and bracket. As far as i'm aware the only one you can replace under the subframe is the front swaybar bracket bushing which i've only seen sold as part of a swaybar kit.

If you ever thought about upgrading the front sway bar now would be the perfect time with the subframe out.
