Suspension Rebuild

Gathering parts to tackle this big job.  Gonna do the subframe bushings/mounts this time, if I can find them.  It looks like the front takes six of these -



The rear is a little more difficult to track down.  Part 5 -



is probably this -



- but I can't find part 18, unless it is another Dorman 924-043 mounted on a reuseable bar -



I have no idea, and there's no easy way to check since it seems like the exhaust has to come off and the whole subframe dropped to change the rear subframe mounts (and the bushings in the control arms.  Ridiculous!).

Part #5 i cant find rear subframe( front)

Did you find part 18, the rear subframe mount?

I figured part 5 was the Dorman 924-943 I posted. I don't see anywhere else that would go.

I have not gone there yet i do think thats the correct part

Hey guys. Been a long time. I checked on that PN 15237958. I'm not sure exactly which info you're looking for. I've never rebuilt the rear subframe. Ever. I can tell you that those parts are completely unobtanium and not a single dealer in the country has one. We've been running into this problem at work constantly. There aren't any suppliers picking up the schematics to make parts, either. No aftermarket support of any kind.

How about 2 of these?

I'm looking for parts 5 and 18 in the first post.

I'm surprised to hear you never did a Riviera or Aurora, although my mounts did make it twenty years before the clunking began. And it might not even be the mounts. I took it to a mechanic who couldn't figure out what was bunking, and decided to replace everything. It's all old anyway, why do it one piece at a time?

Here is another idea for part #5
