miko_supra Posted January 13, 2009 Author Share Posted January 13, 2009 Diff bushes removed and subframe with first coat of paint... Diff complete Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DannoSupra Posted January 14, 2009 Share Posted January 14, 2009 (edited) I know the car will need a 4 wheel alligment for the suspesion arms etc, But does the subframes need to be alligned too, or are they bolt on bolt off? (front and rear) I'll be doing the same with mine as soon as i get her back from paint! ooo one other thing, did you sand blast as far back as the balljoints? if so how dd you protect the rubbers?

The subframe is just bolted on. No adjustments needed. I just masked up the rubber boots and ball joints, to stop any sand getting in. Its just a hobby sandblaster so its not gonna do much damage.
