How many pieces are in your part number EP1167 - how many pieces are in EP1169?

Different websites show different pieces for these 2 numbers.

Is the EP1169 the 'rear subframe bushing kit'? I saw a thread on here called Best Bang for the Buck (or something like that) where he had installed the rear subframe bushing kit but I have never seen anything on any of the Pedder websites that had anything called that.

Yes it is the sub-frame bush kit and yes it is the biggest bang for the buck on a G8. Squirming rear sub-frames cause rear end step out. The Chrysler LX has the same issue -- too much compliance in the OE sub-frame bushes. The down side for the LX owner is that it is major job to swap out those bushes. You have to strip and remove the sub-frame to get it over to a hydraulic press. BIG job, great results with the new bushes.
The G8 is easy. The bolts come out; the sub-frame sits on a jack. The Pedders inserts are clocked into place, the sub-frame get bolts back into place. The OE bushes are re-used -- never removed. We fill the voids and the car is completely different under throttle load while steering -- predictable, stable and consistent.
