aFe Camaro Solid Rear Subframe Mounts — Orange 6061-T6

Camaro solid rear-subframe mount-bushing set

The aFe 450-402001-N CONTROL solid rear-subframe mount set replaces the documented Camaro rear-subframe rubber bushings with CNC-machined 6061-T6 aluminum and an ORANGE anodized finish. EIGHT upper/lower pieces form FOUR rear-subframe mounting positions; installation requires supported subframe removal and complete restoration of disturbed vehicle systems.

Key Features

• Selected rear-subframe mount set: 450-402001-N.
• CNC-machined SOLID 6061-T6 aluminum, ORANGE anodized.
• TWO upper/lower pairs at front positions and TWO at rear positions of the REAR subframe.
• Replaces stock rubber subframe isolation; intended to reduce subframe movement.
• Full guide covers removal, bushing relief cuts, pin alignment and mount seating.
• Current exact factory hardware and torque/angle requirements must be matched.

Fitment

Current exact manufacturer: Chevrolet Camaro 2010–2015. Its own selected guide covers V6 and V8 rear subframe mounts; the complete exact-part engine table supports all FIVE original scopes below: LS/LT V6, SS/ZL1 6.2L V8 and Z/28 7.0L V8 in their listed years. This is the complete REAR SUBFRAME mount-bushing set, not engine mounts, differential mounts or an entire replacement subframe. The guide's older 2010+ wording does not authorize extension beyond the current documented 2015 endpoint.

Specifications

What's Included

• TWO FRONT UPPER bushings and TWO FRONT LOWER bushings.
• TWO REAR UPPER bushings and TWO REAR LOWER bushings.
• EIGHT upper/lower pieces form FOUR complete mounting positions on the REAR SUBFRAME. Front/rear above identify positions on that rear assembly, not separate front and rear chassis kits. The selected packing list specifies no new bolt, washer, adhesive, grease, tool, subframe, engine mount or replacement shock quantity.

CNC-machined SOLID 6061-T6 ALUMINUM with ORANGE ANODIZED finish. The mounts replace original rubber rear-subframe bushings to locate the rear subframe rigidly to the body/chassis. Solid mounting is intended to reduce subframe movement and improve launch/steering response; no guaranteed wheel-hop elimination, measured lap-time gain, grip percentage or zero-noise/vibration result is established. The manufacturer describes minimal chassis noise/vibration, not universal unchanged isolation. These replace rear subframe bushings, not engine mounts.

This is substantial rear-subframe removal work. Raise/support high enough for removal and REMOVE rear wheels. Remove the chassis tunnel brace (15 mm tools), loosen the rear valence via TWO bottom 7 mm-head screws to reach hangers, release FOUR rubber exhaust hangers (two muffler/two below differential), and disconnect exhaust at the illustrated header/sleeve connections (15 mm), sliding clamp sleeves to allow the fully disconnected exhaust to drop out. Remove rear calipers from uprights (18 mm) and HANG THEM securely: do not drop them or load/damage brake hoses. Disconnect parking-brake cables on BOTH sides and release their subframe clips; no hydraulic-line opening is directed. Disconnect the ONE passenger-side electrical connector ahead of the front subframe bolt, the driveshaft/differential flange (18 mm), and BOTH lower shock mounts (21 mm). Loosen FOUR large subframe bolts (24 mm), set the subframe securely on FOUR jack stands, then remove bolts and raise the body away while watching for caught lines, cables or components. Support the assembly before releasing its mounting bolts.

With the subframe removed, the own guide relieves each original rubber/plastic bushing with TWO cuts using a long coarse reciprocating-saw blade, then drives it out with a dead-blow hammer. No numerical cut depth/length is given; protect the mounting bores and subframe. Clean bores and seat the correct UPPER solid-mount halves, tapping with a dead-blow hammer if needed. Lower the body onto the subframe and ALIGN BODY PINS into the mounts. Fit LOWER halves and START ALL BOLTS BY HAND before snugging. Raise the car, confirm EVERY mount is fully seated, and apply the selected guide's 100 ft-lb subframe-to-chassis torque with current exact hardware requirements verified. Restore brake calipers, parking-brake cables/clips, driveshaft, BOTH lower shock mounts and the passenger-side electrical connector. The guide's last step does not explicitly repeat exhaust/hangers, rear valence, tunnel brace and rear-wheel restoration; all must also be correctly restored using current exact factory procedures before driving.

The own July 28, 2020 table prints rear subframe-to-chassis 100 lb-ft and driveshaft-to-differential 85 lb-ft. It lists STRUT TO LOWER CONTROL ARM as 59 lb-ft with a 120-degree angle stage, and CALIPER BRACKET TO KNUCKLE as 30 lb-ft with a 90-degree angle stage. Those angle stages must not be omitted or treated as wrench sizes. Match the exact joint, model-year/trim hardware and current factory torque/angle and bolt-replacement requirements before assembly; the guide does not establish universal reuse permission for every disturbed fastener. No numerical exhaust, tunnel-brace or wheel torque is printed.

No. EIGHT upper/lower pieces create FOUR complete rear-subframe mounting positions. The packing list does not specify new mounting bolts. Check current exact factory bolt-replacement requirements and source any required hardware separately; no blanket old-bolt reuse promise is established.

Own manufacturer-linked TEN-page guide 00P-0T1003-A dated July 28, 2020, explicitly naming this selected set. All removal steps (including duplicate printed number 10), seven changing/reassembly steps, packing list, photographs and torque/angle table were read and visually reviewed. Moderate difficulty and THREE hours are manufacturer estimates, not a labor guarantee. No fixed mileage interval, battery disconnection, coding, fluid drain/refill, fluid capacity, gasket replacement or engine-support procedure is supplied. Restore every disturbed exhaust connection/hanger, rear valence, tunnel brace, rear wheel, brake/parking-brake component, driveshaft, shock mount and electrical connection before operation. No fluid drain/refill or gasket procedure applies to the documented mount installation.

Installation Instructions

5. Complete every restoration item, verify mount seating and all fasteners with the correct torque/angle and any required replacement hardware, then check clearance and operation before driving.
