Suprash Posted November 4, 2006 Share Posted November 4, 2006 Anyone know the size of the front sub frame bolts, need to check mine and want to get the correct size socket first ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LeeT Posted November 4, 2006 Share Posted November 4, 2006 I don't offhand but if you have a 15,17,19 and a 22mm handy, you should be alright Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
absz Posted November 4, 2006 Share Posted November 4, 2006 i think they are 19mm or maybe 17mm:) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Suprash Posted November 5, 2006 Author Share Posted November 5, 2006 Lee, fucking hell dude, I might as well just have a complete socket set to hand with your thinking lol..... Come on guys !!! I have a standard socket set but know the sub frame bolts are a little bigger then what you get in most socket sets, sure its around the 22/23 size.......

Mike M Posted November 5, 2006 Share Posted November 5, 2006 I'm guessing at 17mm but I know for sure that you will need a deep socket to do the job. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jake Posted November 5, 2006 Share Posted November 5, 2006 fucking hell dude, I might as well just have a complete socket set to hand with your thinking Yeah cos that would be like a ridiculous thing to have about when you're working on a car, right?

Matt _Aero top_ Posted November 7, 2006 Share Posted November 7, 2006 You'll need a 19mm socket and a 17mm deep reach socket and a 6" extension to go on that . And I'm 100% on that . Why whats up ? what symptoms have you got ?? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Why whats up ? what symptoms have you got ?? Well apart from a headache and a little bit of a cold, I'm fine, thanks for asking *grin*.... Ash was just asking while he was out and about so he can get them ready for when he checks his subframe. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ian W Posted November 7, 2006 Share Posted November 7, 2006 i don't have a socket set Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Matt _Aero top_ Posted November 7, 2006 Share Posted November 7, 2006 Ow i see now You got the cold too have ya ? I'm just trying to shake it off now too . I know these sizes coz i did mine last weekend coz of i knock i got and it made no difference so i think its abit more serious than tightening a few bolts up that was already tight . I did the 6x19mm and the 4x17mm is that all there is on the front ? if you know where ya looking yyou don't even need to put the car on the ramps you can do it off the road .

JustGav Posted November 7, 2006 Share Posted November 7, 2006 Yeah, I remember the bolt location when I put my subframe in, just couldn't remember the sizes when he phoned me, and yes I do own a socket set or two.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Suprash Posted November 7, 2006 Author Share Posted November 7, 2006 Ha, ha, funny guys And yes I have a socket set thank you, just sure it only goes up to 19mm and didnt want to get round my mates and find out I need a 20 something...... Cheers though guys.......... Symtons: It creaks bad now, especially when low parking speeds, to the point that people look now lol. Its been getting progessivly worse so I hope its from where the bolts have been getting looser If it isnt then Im not sure what it can be as someone looked over the suspension/suspension arms and everything appears to be ok.........
