Ridetech 67-81 GM F-Body / 68-74 Nova Subframe Bushing Kit

This is the Ridetech 81001000 subframe bushing kit, designed for a range of classic GM vehicles including the 1967-1981 GM F-Body models like the Chevrolet Camaro and Pontiac Firebird, as well as the 1968-1974 Chevrolet Nova and its platform mates like the Buick Apollo and Oldsmobile Omega. These bushings are crucial for connecting the car's chassis to the subframe, and worn-out original rubber ones can lead to sloppy handling, poor alignment, and unwanted noise. Replacing them with a fresh set from Ridetech helps restore a solid connection, making your car feel tighter and more responsive on the road.

Ridetech uses a well-built polyurethane material for these bushings, which offers a good balance between stiffness and vibration damping. Unlike soft rubber, polyurethane resists deflection under load, meaning your subframe stays put when you're cornering or braking hard. This improved stability translates directly to a more predictable feel and better control. The kit includes all the necessary bushings to replace the factory ones, ensuring a complete refresh of this critical suspension component.

When installing these, you'll want to make sure the subframe mounting points are clean and free of rust. It's also a good idea to have a way to support the subframe while you're working, as it will need to be lowered to swap out the old bushings. This kit is a solid option for anyone looking to improve the handling and structural integrity of their classic GM muscle car.
