Front subframe

Post by WhiteFinish »

Hi Guys,

What needs to be loosend to drop the front subframe ?
I don't want to have 90% of the bolts lose and than find out it got stuck on 1.

Hell yeah!!! I've wanted to do that forever!!! :D

I can't help much here, but take your time lowering it, and always lower in stages so you can check for missed hoses/lines.
