front axle support member

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.

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.
