Don't need to gut the bushings. Just line up the subframe and jack it on. Then fill the voids that you see. Windo Weld is actually a heavy polyurethane. It's a lot harder than the stock rubber for sure. You don't need to worry about it being off-center because the bushings are identical left to right and should deflect the same on installation. Remember, the total deflection is 5mm per bushing. If it's off 20%, which is huge on an engineering scale, is only 1mm. Once you see it in there, you'll wonder why you ever worried about it.
