Rental: Bavarian Autosport Rear Subframe Bushing Press

I know there is at least 1 other member offering this rental but I figured I would post to see if there was interest in offering this tool as a rental? I would require a refundable deposit which would be returned minus the rental fee when finished with the tool.

Here is a link to what the tool looks like and what is included in the rental. Has only been used on my car at this point. https://www.pelicanparts.com/More_In...SABEgKRt_D_BwE

Hi, what bushings did you install? does the tool allow for bushing install without completely removing the subframe?

The tool is specific to the rear subframe bushings and that is what it was used for on my car. Yes, this allows for you to lower the subframe rather than remove it from the car.

Yes, exactly what I did. I used Turner Motorsport solid bushings.

i know you mentioned that the tool was designed to allow install of bushings without removing the subframe. Were you able to do the install of the solid bushings without removing your subframe, just by lowering it?

Correct. The brake lines still needed disconnecting but the subframe did not have to come off of the car, only lowered down about 6-8 inches.
