walkerstrider Posted June 20, 2015 Share Posted June 20, 2015 How big a job is it to swap the rear subframe as mine looks rather corroded? Its a 94 na aerotop. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
P_Bazz Posted June 20, 2015 Share Posted June 20, 2015 Pretty easy if you have some jackstands, you need to disconnect the rear brake hoses (or the calipers if you don't want to bleed the system again), parking brake lines and propshaft. After that you just remove the two larger bolts at the front and 8 at the rear and the whole thing comes out. Don't tilt it when lowering it or otherwise it will get stuck on the front, it is extremely heavy so make sure your jack is seated properly under the diff.

bignum Posted June 20, 2015 Share Posted June 20, 2015 Dont forget abs wires, disconnect, also it depends if you`re stripping all the arms off yours to go on the new one, chances are most of the bolts will be seized unless they`ve been out recently and lubbed up, and once its all back together it`ll need geo, so tbh its not a simple job at all.

walkerstrider Posted June 20, 2015 Author Share Posted June 20, 2015 All the bolts should be free had it Geod last year. Had to cut a couple out and changed front subframe at the same time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
