Replaceing the rear subframe
- Thread starter slideordie
- Start date
10mm, 12mm wrench and socket, 17mm and 2 jacks.
First remove your Struts(17mm) from the spinlde.
Second Disconnect your drive shaft. (12mm wrench)
Thrid Remove the brackets infornt of your subframe 12mm and a 17mm i beleive
Forth Remove the 17mm that hold in your subframe
Fifth Kick the subframe or Pry it out.
-TIP: Leave the wheels on and just jack up the car really high. Helps the subframe move easier
Last Remove the E Brake cables 10mm and from the Caliper.
Reverse to install
When lifting the subframe use 2 jacks under the Rear Lower Control Arms to get it up evenly.

ur just jealous that you wernt there to help me
find the z32 rear polyurathane subframe bushings, those are the ones that fit in the subframe if you are replacing the poly bushings. What an amazing difference.
