The bushes are oil filled. They have cracked and are leakibg.

Couple of options

1- remove subframe and press in new bushes or pinapples.

2- lower subframe and put in subframe c lock spacers. This removes the slop that the worn stock bushes have. But also create some NVH.

Mine were leaking too. Seeing as I track my 32 occasionally I decided to put the C locking rings in mine. TBH I haven't checked if it still leaks LOL but it definitely stiffended it up in the mean time.

I'll probably look at replacing them one day.
