Engine just about fell out of 93 88 while driving (Pictures)
Just a little bit of advice for anyone driving around with an H-body GM looks like the sub-frame bushing washers are standard maintenance. While leaving the gym making a left turn i felt two pops and the exhaust got louder, i thought my cat fell off. so i went to turn to pull over in shoulder and had no steering. AAA got the car home and it sat for a week. I jacked the engine back up and the exhaust leak went away so I think it was just the donut gasket leaking. Called gm ordered the washers and the new bushings $140 at the dealership with employee discount would have been $280 without I think. Got the steering reconnected the bushings and washers installed. Car is now driveable again but I need to replace the axle and ball joint on the left side. ALSO.. the same week I got hit by a dump truck leaving work.
