Has anyone installed subframes on their own? I really need to get some soon and planned to do the install myself. I am looking at the steeda full length subframes. Is the install as simple as it looks?
well if your replacing with a stock one youll need an engine support or you can take it out how we do at work(youll need a lift for this way): disconnect all connectors vacuum lines going to the fire wall as well as the fuel lines, unbolt the struts and by now you shouldsupport the engine with a table top and the trans unbolted from the support(obviously now the driveshaft should off) with 4 13min I think, then unbolt the sub frame bolts 21mm I think, and lower the trans/engine down and crane the engine off the frame and wahlah your rdy. Other than that Youll have to support the engine. Goodluck

woah! I think hes in the wrong Thread............My subframes were very easy, they sliped up and fit perfect, and welded them up, no problems. just make sure you dont jack it up from the Axle the subframes wont be set up right....
