Have you got it back yet? Hopefully the bolts come out and all you need is a new sub-frame and some hardware.

My subframe has rotted out as well. This passed winter they caked the roads with an inch of salt here in greenwood. I will be doing the job myself due to outrages quotes for replacing a subframe.

Sorry to hear that but lucky for me the bushings are good,just had to replace the bolts and whatever else they did I was only out $250 as to $350+ if the subframe needed replacing... :btruestory: :btruestory: :btruestory:

From the looks of yours it will need replacing. It is only $155 at lkq but they are currently out of stock. My subframe looks the same as yours does
