Changing rear subframe upper exhuast mounts
#1
![Default](/forum/images/icons/icon1.gif)
Hi all,
Whilst spending the afternoon under the car correcting the rear camber I noticed the two exhuast mounts that sit above the subframe were both broken. It looks like only 1 of the 2 bolts were fitted in each mount, so the mounts have sheared off. They appear to be a nightmare to get to. I could not even get the old ones off as they are trapped between the body and subframe. Can anyone advise how to change these mounts? The reply I am dreading is that the rear subframe has to be dropped. If so can it be done by dropping either the front or rear, or does the whole lot need to come down?
Any advice appreciated.
Cheers,
Rich
