subframe

i have a mk1 leon 1.6 16v model and i need a new front subframe by the looks of it, seems to be quite hard to find one online so i’m asking if a mk4 golf front subframe would fit as they are a lot more available and cheaper, thanks

Hi, I would really need the Torque specs in "Nm" for the following bolts and stretch bolts: Number 21, 22 and 23 bolts (picture below). I think it's 70Nm + 180 degree Number 14 (dog bone 135Nm?) and also number 15 and 16 please. Thanks in advance!

Just replaced the steal cupra 280 subframe with a Audi s3 aluminium subframe and the cars feels SO much more responsive. Just something someone else might want to consider

Hi, There are a couple of threads on here about this but no real answers... My LCR1 started blowing from the flexi joint on the exhaust downpipe so I bought an upgrade. After a significant amount of time with an angle grinder on the rushed remains of some bolts and a lot of messing around, I...

Unfortunately being an owner of a 1.2 AZQ engine the sump has gotten in the way of being able to remove the wishbone bolt on the drivers side. I've come to the conclusion that I would prefer to lower the subframe from the body than remove the sump as I've just had the car freshly serviced by...

Does any one know the affects of a bent subframe. I have been advised that I may have this problem, i have had new strut, new knuckle, hub bearings etc, laserlined tracking but its still pulling to the left and massive tyre wear on the right hand tyre. also any ideas on who can fix this, im in...

Mine was within manufacturers spec, but would be desirable to adjust according to the shop, is there anyway of doing this?

does anyone know how difficult it is to fit this???? i got told that i will need to support the weight of the engine is this true?? info would be most appreciated folks

Hi Guys, Car is in for a service today (dun dun duuun!). anyway they does this free "health check"/revenue generator. Its been pointed out to me that my front nearside subframe is a bit bent! its not enough to cause any issues but apparently should be monitored. Might explain why it pulls to...

We have some bucket seats to go into the track car (Irn Bru) but after removing the standard Ibiza GTi seats the bucket seats frame does not reach the runners where the old seats were situated. We did consider for a second bolting them directly into the chassis and then immediatly seen that this...

Hi, I have recently bought a new blue standard Ibiza Cupra interior, but one of the legs on the passenger seat is slightly bent. Now I don't really want to bend this back obviously as it would be weaker, if not just break! So I was wandering if they are detactable? I could just go and...

Just thought I would tell everyone my findings on fitting the Audi TT front subframe bushes on the Leon SE TDI. Well...unbeleavable :lol: I Also fitted a lower brace, which I made myself and the handling is fantastic! The car goes round corners like it's on rails :D And I dont have a strut brace...

Hello baught an arosa a few weeks ago light front end damage and had all repairs done, went to get the tracking done the other day and turns out the front subframe is bent causing the front passenger wheel to sit just over an inch further backwards than normal:( anyone recomend were i can get...

Does anyone know where can I get the Audi TT subframe bushes, apart from a main dealer! Mine are shot and I get a horrible clunking sound, so I want to upgrade to the TT parts, which are stiffer.

Hey, just removing stuff just now for BT e.g. o/s driveshaft. Had to remove this block What is it for? Only thing I can think of is to protect the o/s driveshaft maybe or steering rack? Any ideas? Cheers

Hello everyone I'm going to try a little experiment to improve the handling and steering response, but for this I need to know which kind of bushings does the Leon Cupra/FR (with 1.8T engine) have on the front subframe. There are two types on Golf IV platform, the one-piece bush(2 per car)...

As above, going by the forum its a easy enough job so how much should I be looking for someone to charge me for fitting a rear axle? How do the wheels connect to the rear axle is it one big part or would I need to buy those aswell?
