at the front, slightly to the LH side. I assume you have lowered or removed the exhaust and undone the lower drop link/ARB nuts. Pete |

One thing I would suggest though on refitting. Secure your power steering pipework to it , to keep it clear from the air con pulley.

if I have understood you Eastpete and clf, I have indeed touched a power steering pipe but when refitting the sub frame, I should secure it/them out of the way in addition to using the two fittings I have removed, is that right?
I'll have to look under the car again tomorrow to try to fully understand macafee2 |
