tryna get the old sub off but shit aint moving!

i managed to get the trailing arms off, but subframe is still there i air chiselled, hammer wd40...

i have a polybushed subframe to go in but ive read up and seems to be mixed reviews,

however considering the subframe isnt coming off are the bushes looking okay ? as i might just leave it bolt the polyd arms on and get void fillers :?

ive never really had any clunking or dodgy noises, if i get those void fillers would that help?

tbh all bushes look okay to me, anyone got a pic of a shot subframe bush?

They look pretty goo to me mate. Mine were absolutely hanging when i took them off. My car wasn't clanking, banging or handling weird either.

They dont look bad at all - get some void fillers in there quick and they will last a lot longer anyway
