Well looks like the curse may of struck again,
Was at dougs and he noticed i had snapped my rear subframe

Nick b

Jesus, where abouts?

Nearly always appears to be early models, perhaps it's the age of the cars . . ?

Hope your run of bad luck ends soon Nik

I've got a spare one .g

Grizz,
Is it off a face lift car??
And can you tell me how much you want for one or pm me
Cheers mate
Nick

It's from a 2000 rs4 , make me a offer .g

Exactly the same as mine nik. Mine has snapped on both sides near and was dangerous to drive. I bought a second hand one of Doug that woody is going to fit. Did u notice any difference in the handling? What can cause this? The only thing i can think is when is when i grounded it quite badly, or is it age and the hard ARB?

Grizz, pm you

Stevie, i did mine getting it a bit sideways one night and it snapping back on me quite violently, i thought the exhaust was knocking, but when i went to dougs last week we noticed it was the roll bar banging

Think is down to weaker point on pre-face lift car and then the fact of hardened suspension and bigger H&R Roll bars

Nick

Yeah mine has the H&R Coilovers with stiffer ARB's. I felt the rear end was a little loose sometimes but i didnt find out until i went to get my wheels aligned

The yanks talk about this as some of the ARBs they buy have supports for the subframe to try and reduce the risk of this happening.

would it be able to be braced to stop this, before hand?

How much is a repalcement subframe new?

£400 +

Nick b

I think i was quoted around the £530 plus vat mark so not cheap.

Any pics of where they crack?
