I recently bought this used 2014 Camry, but found that it had a cracked subframe bushing. I went to the Toyota dealer to get it inspected, but they said that an entire subframe system swap was needed. They said if they don't replace the entire thing, then liabilities occur since replacing one part will cause uneven wear.

To save costs, am I able to get just the front 2 subframe bushings replaced at an independent shop instead of getting the whole subframe replaced, and is that safe?

How urgent is this repair?

I recently bought this used 2014 Camry, but found that it had a cracked subframe bushing. I went to the Toyota dealer to get it inspected, but they quoted me over $8k for a replacement, saying that an entire subframe system swap was needed. They said if they don't replace the entire thing, then liabilities occur since replacing one part will cause uneven wear.

To save costs, am I able to get just the front 2 subframe bushings replaced at an independent shop instead of getting the whole subframe replaced, and is that still safe?
