^ speaking of front subframes I have to bend my sway bar mount tab down a little because it got bent in the curb incident

lol dropped a 3lb sledge on my foot... didnt feel a thing :)

A teeter tooter for what? Midgets? Its like 3 feet long.

It is the front. I already have a new one in with reinforcement brackets son. Shit won't ever break again.


5toes, becareful. It might break.

So josh, what was re inforced?

[DrJosh]

Paolo, be a man and do it in the cold.

Andrew, The sway bar tab that is bent was reinforced as well as the motor mount spots.

Hmm Ive seen the rear re enforcement kits, but not the front. Seems subframe has to be off the car.

One day I guess. lol

I think my sway bar tab will be fine if I slightly heat it and bend it back into place?

[DrJosh]

Honestly I don't know if it will last.

A shop could weld on the new bracket though while the subframe is still on the car.

Oh lol I didn't know you were talking about the front. Carry on

Itd be much easier with a bigger Jack and concrete. Jacking cars up on gravel with a teeny Jack is not the business. Haha.

Plan is to bring the wheels to work tomorrow. Make sure they're good and balanced than throw them on during my lunchbreak.

Anyone in the market for some iX weaves with good tires? Yokohama V4S.
