Hi, how easy is it to change the front cross member assembly, the one that the lower suspension is attached to, and the engine shock absorbers.
cheers for any help. giuseppesalvato

Regardless what part of the world you live in, as long as you have the correct tools the job goes better----if you reside in the USA subscribe to MB WIS all the removal instructions are available---just search!!

I had a look on EPC and WIS for the procedure to replace front axle and engine support member, the complexity involved in carrying out the procedure is such, that its best left to indipendant specialist to fit. to many bits and pieces to remove and replace needing specialist knowledge and equipment.

i have heard you need a body jig to hold body straight when doing this,i am not sure of this though.I had mine welded,it had a 2 inch split on one side.

Hi, this subframe is bolted on, only four bolts, but all the ancilliories that have to come of first before you unbolt it, is quite alot of work, wheels of, steering rack of, anti-roll bar and drop links, lower camber bolts, engine shock absorbers, shock absorbers, to name a few, so I think I will leave it to someone who know's what they are doing.
