Just installed the Steeda Subframe Bushing Inserts. Super super easy install, just used my floor jacks. It can be done with the wheels on but it's much easier with them off. I helped my buddy do this same thing on his S550 Mustang and it was such a bitch on that car. But our Explorers have so much room for activities under there; it was cake. 1 hour 20 min from starting to gather the tools til I washed my hands after cleaning everything. Plus this was the first time using my new electric impact driver, and we all know new power tools are almost as much fun as new car parts!
2 notes I'd add to the instructions. First, when installing the rear lower insert, it's D-shaped so make sure the round edge is facing front and the flat is facing back. It will fit fine either way, but if you have the round side towards the back, it will definitely touch off on the sway bar. Second, on the rear 13mm bolts, in the video there is 1 each side but on mine there is 2. Also, start these back in BEFORE you reinstall the 21mm rear subframe bolt. Perfect Ford build quality meant my holes didn't line up at all if I started the rear subframe bolt first. I didn't take a pic but if you do this job, you'll know exactly what I'm saying. I'll report back later with any new driving impressions.
