Big question Gentlemen, I've got a hunch to do this job inclusive of doing a suspension refresh. Struts and springs, new control arms etc. Would it be possible to drop the subframe entirely and remove to a work bench or so to do a slight install of the bottom half of the suspension bits?
I'm thinking remove the subframe. replace this gasket, washout if I can a few areas of oil, dirt etc. Then proceed to work on Suspension bits etc. I know of removing the brake lines (May replace those) Just want to know if its easier to work with the subframe off the car per say. FYI car does not have xdrive.  |
you should contact member "simon". iirc he removed the subframe for his gasket / motor mount replacement.
