aftermarket subframe?

[dentillozie]

hi all,

Just got a fail on Belgian MOT for a bent subframe.
Does anyone have any experience with a aftermarket subframe?
There are a couple on autodoc: https://www.autodoc.be/auto-onderde...-1-2-cb0-1-2/17869-2-0-16v-sport?fromSearch=1

Are there any jobs i should take care of when the subframe is out? ARB bushes for example?
Also how possible is it to replace a subframe on axle stands?

thanks!

Something must be wrong with that link I guess, its showing Clio subframes for me...

It's showing Clio ones for me.

I've never come across one on the clio but generally my experience of aftermarket ones is they "do the job" but are never spot on.

That looks like it is made of thin steel too and will be likely to rust

Good condition used would be a better option.

Is it the subframe or radiator support you need?

The complete subframe, (its for a 172, forgot to mention). i got hold of one from a broker nearby of a 1.6. just need to clean it and paint it.

Proper odd. Just double checked….

Were you previously looking on there for rav 4 parts? Mine shows mk3 clio subframes and I ordered mk3 springs the other day.
