Technical Corrosion to underbody subframe

[kanti83]

Nice but the hole is around bald

any guides how to replace the front subframe and what tools i need ??? thanks

 

[CFREITAS]

Removal of the frame is simple

1. Disconnect wishbones from struts

2. Lower complete exhaust
And the transmission tunnel guards and disconnect gearbox mounts

3. Remove 2 bolts that hold the frame to chassis either side of car

4. remove 8 bolts at the rear of the frame

5. Wiggle it out

Tools you will need is a socket set and a breaker bar (impact gun also helps)

thanks,,, the car have to be on alxe stands ?i have 2 car ramps can i use them ?

 

[Neverth]

You are going to remove subframe, where lower control arms are connected to. I dont think having wheels on and car on ramps is going to cut it.

Have a look at ePER on top of this page, if both subframes have the same part number, you'll be allright.

If you find a good subframe that fits, have it blasted and powdercoated.
It will last forever, and look great.

 

[kanti83]

[kanti83]

Subframe is painted but do not have place to fit cant do it outside its to cold ,in garage wanted £150 to fit and that is for me lot of money
