Rear coil change / sub frame
« on: 11 August 2008, 14:00:50 »

How many bolts are there to undo on the rear subframe to drop it for a coil change? & what are their positions?

Cheers

just remove the 4 bolts from the diff, and 2 for the anti-roll bars (1 each side) and pop off the shocks

Job done, lower away. (remember to unclip the brake lines)
