Hello everyone. This is my first time on here, and I'm no mechanic, so please excuse my lack of knowledge.

My Y-Reg Multipla has just failed it's MOT due to a corroded rear subframe. It looks like the bit that holds the bounce rubber (?) is the offending part...

You can see from the photo that the corrosion has left the bounce rubber thingy at a dodgy angle :eek:

The garage wanted a grand to supply and replace, but I've located a rear subframe from D A Motors in Essex for a decent price. However, does anyone know if the offending part would normally be included with the subframe ?

Any tips or advice would be massively appreciated :)

Id have a better look at the subframe itself , is it actually that bad because the bump stop is a replaceable part and to be honest if mine failed on that id simply put a bit of silicone on the top of it and that would be the end of it.
I was lucky and bought a complete subframe from ebay with all the bushes fitted but bump stops i cannot see being more than a tenner.
If there is no other noticeable rust other that surface rust id take the car elsewhere for the mot.

And dont forget you can just have the subframe welded.
