Subframe dimension question..

#1 Post by shaunroche »

I know this information will be in this Forum somewhere, but I can't find it!

The rear Subframe bush holes, do we have a minimum dia dimension that these should be please?

I ask as the ones on my subframe are a bit frayed and I'm wanting to get them repaired.

Cheers!

Thank you Alun, you've restored my faith in the Forum!

I've had them repaired and the rear holes are now considerably less than that!

I've repaired them in the past by welding the same washer that sits beneath the subframe bolt head to the top of the dome and then grinding back to shape; that too creates a smaller hole but one that I know the bolt can pass through.
