Thanks a lot for that! It does sound like something I can do - tho I'm kind of paranoid way under the car with my crappy China jack. Maybe I'll spring for the $90 less crappy China jack from Harbor it lifts higher, etc.

I'd appreciate the part numbers. I think I have them from the GM dealer, but I didn't bring that with me to my office today.

I wonder why they call this a 5-hour job at the shop (more than one shop)

Cheers

-Jack the car up like you normally would and put the jack stands on the jack point right below the passenger and driver doors.
-get underneath the car with the jack and place the jack directly in the middle of the rear portion of the subframe. Jack the subframe up a bit and then remove the two bolts holding the rear end of the subframe.
-Slowly lower the jack enough to be able to remove the two rear bushing and then replace them.
-line the two bolts back up and tighten each side slowly it should start to force the subframe back up without you having to jack it back up if not once you have both bolts lined up jack it up a bit.
-same concept for the front bushings
-put the jack underneath the front section of the subframe directly in the middle. Remove both bolts holding the front section of the subframe.
-slowly lower the jack enough to allow you to remove and install the new bushing.
-put the bolts back in and tighten each side slowly and even. When you tighten the bolts it should start to force the subframe back up but if not just jack it up slightly.
-make sure all 4 bolts are tighten and proceed to remove the jack and get the car off jack stands.
-pat yourself on the back for saving yourself a bunch of money and enjoy some beer.

Rough write up I'm on my phone so its a bit difficult to type it out like I want.
