Omega Subframe/Core Support



76 Omega Core Support Damage


I am in the process of repairing my 76 Omega core support. I welcome all advice, input, do's & don'ts.
I have also searched for information on replacement bushings. Such as dimensions, which makes and models that are interchangeable, etc. This info is not covered in the literature I have.
My mind tells me that the bushings used in the prior generation x-body could be the same. Am I on the right track?

The 1975-79 Omega is a Nova with minor sheet metal changes. Nova mechanical parts fit. The subframe is nearly identical to the one on the 1070-1981 Camaro/Firebird.

That's great info Joe, Thank you! Would you know of any publication or resource that would have specs on replacement bushings?

Sorry my parts book dose not cover the frame. Can't believe I never noticed that . I had a cross over book but I can't find it. Here's a link to the cross over book I can't find I'm pretty sure the sub frame is in it . It will tell you what years and models will fit your car. And I'm pretty sure I paid no more than $25.
