Next, I marked the old bushings with painted reference marks at the two points where the subframe arm that holds the bushing attach to the subframe bushing frame. I copied the reference marks to the new bushings later on during the bushing installation process. The importance of this mark is to line up the new bushing properly on a forward/aft orientation during re-installation.
I then used a floor jack to lift up the rear subframe against the body. I used the differential case as the lifting point with a jack pad on my jack.
Do not position the jack on the seam between the case and the case cover. Only use the differential case itself. Don’t lift the car off the jack stands.
