Sub-frame corrosion

[alanaslan]

I have just done the wifes saloon,
subframe £165 New
Top arms £65 each from stock
bottom arms £38 each new
HT bolts for arms times 8 from stock £1.75 each from stock


All stock items are items I have bought when new on offer:
this was the total cost of parts for replacing the rear subframe last month

It should be noted that the springs, shocks, backplates, calipers, discs, pads, shoes, cables, pipes and hoses had been done at the begining of lockdown as part of normal preventative maintainance. when doing the work I notices the fuel tank strap will need to be replaced doing it this month cost £64 new
hope this information helps

Re rust convertors after application and either washing the acid off with large amounts of water or waiting the prescribed time the metal treated then needs to be primed then painted. you should then realy protect your item with wax to protect it from wear and tear. remember to reapply the wax proctection to the under side of the car every three or four years.
