MOT Failed Subframe
- Thread starter Rob.
- Start date
In theory theres only a few bolts there tow for each wishbone then there a fe hold the sufrmae to the car then then just got to remove the dogbone mont.
In practice its a nightmare bolts getting stuck etc. This is why in engine conversions people take engine out the top rarther than bottom which is in theory easier.
Its a fail if they say its rusted/damaged etc takes a crash realy to damage them they should last and not rust realy.

its easy enough, im sure your near someone on here if you dont fancy doing it yourself will do it for you.
At carlton we had a ladys car come in for its yearly service...
it had only done 2411 miles. Ph3 1.4 rt auto. on a P plate!
It was lovely to work on, no siezed bolts, no grease or oil sprayed everywhere, even under the car the underseal was still white!!
Sounds like my car that....no seized bolts anyway lol
it failed cuz of a 'Dent' on the drivers side. I cant see no major dent.
Wheres the best place to get a new subframe

Just looking at my pictures. why is my 'old' subframe half painted ??? Was this done when the car was new or along the life of the car :-S I'm still trying work out when the subframe got damaged as i have had the car most of its life
Are you sure its paint not underseal?
