This weekend I used my wife's wood lathe to customize the SOR poly bushing set.
I haven't done anything about the two mounts up front yet, I won't be bolting up the front clip for quite a while.
For the rest of this post, I'll refer to the mounts by number, where 1 is the front mount just behind the bumper, 2 is at the driver's foot, three is under the back seat, 4 is behind the rear wheel, and 5 is at the back corner.
Other than bolt length, 2 and 5 are identical, and 3 and 4 are identical.
Here is mount #2:
Note how the roughly cone shaped metal insert protrudes through the bottom of the mount. The original mounts had a hat shaped washer that covers this up, and I re-use it here. For these mounts, the new top bushing fits perfectly. I used the lathe to carve out space for the hat shaped washer to fit snugly in the lower bushing, as seen here:
Here is mount #4:
For this mount, I found I needed an extra washer between the bushings to match the length of the sleeve. I use the original 2.87" washers on top of the frame mount. I trimmed off the lip on the upper mount so it would fit flush against the washer, and narrowed the lip on the lower mount so it would fit in the hole in the frame, as seen here:
Unfortunately I bought the wrong length bolts, so I haven't snugged them down yet. I assume that the the bolt should be tightened until the large washers supplied with the SOR kit contact the sleeve. Anybody know what the torque should be?
