Rear suspenion subframe mount replacement
One of my next jobs on the Series 2 will be replacing the four rear suspension subframe rubber mounts. I am expecting this to be not much fun!
Anyone got any tips or suggestions? Can I do it one side at a time by just lowering on side a time on a jack? This would save me dropping the whole subframe unit. |
FUN, HELL YES.
I do them one side at a time, and GREAT care with the jack, and lots of common sense. The attachments TO the cradle are at awkward angles, and make for a lot of lost time. I use 2 large diameter "Philips" screwdrivers to slide thru the holes when raised back up, and then juggle the bolts in one at a time, and only tighten when all 4 are in place. I usually consume heaps of "nectar" during this job, it just eases the grief ever so slightly. |
