After installing my new wheels tires, it appears as though my subframe bushings are shot. Can anyone help with this or direct me to a good shop to have this fixed? On a tight budget, so any help would be greatly appreciated!

you could drop the subframe yourself. ---

^Sorry for the useless response, I couldn’t help it lol. Shop and tight budget don’t go together. If you wanna do it yourself get some subframe spacers, rather than the whole bushings. This way you fill in the gap for the play, and the result is virtually the same, minus a shit load of effort and screwing around. Otherwise the whole subframe’s gotta go down, and the bushings pressed/burned out, and then new ones installed in. You might as well get it powdercoated while its off the car. lol ---

Subframe spacers often make a clicking noise from my experience. If you don’t feel like dropping the subframe yourself, Sydney Automotive could do the work for a good price. ---
