Hi all,

How difficult is it to repair rust in the subframe just forward of the crossmember mount? Can it be done in situ?

Thanks
John

John,

If you mean the replacement of a subframe leg end, it wouldn't be the most pleasant job, but with the car up on ramps and a good little reciprocating saw, it seems doable.

pics?

Cheers

Yes I have done it many times - you get your face full of dust and rust as you're cutting lying on your back, and the odd bit of weld splatter lands on you, but other than that its OK Tongue
