Why do you say that? A link for the engine support bar is in the video description.

I have to tell you how impressed I am with this video. Great job with the lighting and camera angles, and I appreciate your thoroughness. Will be subscribing and sharing.

Very informative and competent explanation. I have to replace the subframe on the wife's Nissan Note this week.

You are definitely an expert in this field. Very professionally put together great communication skills too. Thanks.....this was very informative.

Hey man great video! Can you give any tips on how you took off the bolts that connect the steering rack to the subframe?

Great video very educational thank you!

Great video! I have to do this on my 2019 C300, I wish I knew someone as professional and precise as you to work on my car.

who wouldve thought id be looking for a video like this. Great job appreciate the insight!!!

Did you have to remove the shift cable? If so how? It shows in your video that it was in the way when you were lowering the subframe but then just jumps to you removing it with out showing how you took of the shift cable.

So if I wanted to drop a J35 in my base model I'd need the type S sud frame? And wiring harness (s) and type S cluster?

great video i have to replace rear crossmeber on my 08 rav4 you think i going to be able to do it in my garage with my regular tools

Hey man, i need to lower the subframe on the same car (CL9) to fit my header from my k20. It almost fits but the subframe is in the way. I was going to beat it with a hammer but I rather drop it. Is there an easier way?

I have a 2008 dodge avenger and I'm getting my subframe crossmember replaced. Do you have to remove the lower ball joints for the subframe to come out?

What are the bolts called that hold up the subframe? The bolts that are right next to the lower front control arm.

My 2011 Taurus hit a train track and the subframe is shredded in a 2” by 4” area. Just a big hole. Instead of that engine bracket you used, would some blocks be just as effective?

How come the sub is alu? I suppose it's a super strong alloy like t6000 or something? I see to jack a car the sub-frame is used as a safe structure: this is how I got here, wondering how "safe" it is.

I have 06 lowered accord. I slightly hit a curb and bent the front passenger side mounting point where the tow hook / mounting point is located. Only damage I noticed is that it bent the from corner downward a bit. No other damage noted. Should I be concerned ?

What are the signs of damaged subframe cross member?

That was ah really good video . Thanks

Well done and a very nice video.

First off loved your video, bro! Straightforward, precise, professional, and informative. I wish I had all the tools necessary to do the job. I have an almost exact situation. I bent the sub-frame on 2013 Acura TL AWD. Mechanic is qouting almost $5,000 with parts and labor. I’m going to get a second opinion. But can you tell me any X-factors I might consist or any problems/other things that might need to be replaced? Or is something like this usually fixed by just replacing the frame? I hydroplaned into a curb also. Any advice I appreciate it. Nice Acura by the way!!

Man that sucks. Besides, the subframe you can replace motor mounts if they're in bad condition. The clutch if you have a 6MT, and the rear main seal are definitely things you'd want to replace while the subframe is out

How much it could cost to repair the cross members in Australia ? My car is Toyota Camry Ateva 2007. Mileage 134000 km. It’s having allignment issues. Fixed the wheel alignment.

I also hydroplaned into a curb. Would there be any difference between an 06 and an 07? Or have you only done this one TL ? I'd think from 04 to 08 the subframes would be identical besides the type S

Great video. Is a front crossmember considered a suspension or just a frame and structural body part?

@aayesher9400

Structural. Usually, unless the cradle is shifted after a crash which can affect suspension settings and alignment

Great video, in addition to the front mount vacuum hose did you have to remove any hoses at the bottom of radiator?

What is called the part at 6:08? Thanks

Amazing video. How long would you say it took you to remove everything? I think you are a great editor to get this process down to 10 mins., but I am curious to know how long it would have taken to remove the subframe without all the camera magic.

Smart guy.

Well it looks like someone else in the world had the same problem I did this winter when I curb shot my Toyota Solara. Fast forward 8 months after I got the replacement control arms I spy with my eye that the orientation of the bushings clockwise on the back hockey puck one is not correct. Also I found it is useless to buy a shop press unless you have the correct pressing blocks and receiving cups. I like how you use a breaker bar too instead of a ratchet to break loose high torqued fasteners. I don't understand those that just want to destroy their ratchets by pressing them to take off 150 ft lb fasteners. Finally, I guess I won't complain about the tight quarters I have to work in after seeing how narrow the place you are working in.

I need a video on how to remove the cradle on a 06 rendezous. Can anyone help

what is the name of tool you used in minutes 1:30?

How much does this typically cost? If I have all my parts but need to to adjust it cuz supposedly everything is loose and shifted stuff... they’re charging me 363 is that typical? Feel like I’m getting bamboozled because I’m a woman and also know nothing about cars.

Just watching clips of this short video, shows its a very tedious job. Im guessing, the time isnt worth the money. A good mechanic takes the job vs money grabs but like a lot of things, GOOD mechanics are scarce.

Excellent video but can you cut the uneccessary overly loud music.

I could not believe my dad's "Mechanic" did not really know anything about cars. I got a unsafe feeling and watched these videos and then took it to a repair shop. They deemed the car unsafe to even drive!!! Please follow your gut feeling. I'm a woman and was told not to pay attention to the crackling noises and sudden jerking while driving . That it was just cosmetic. YEAH RIGHT!!!!! SUBFRAME AND CONTROL ARM COMPLETELY STRIPPED, COULD NOT BE BOLTED DOWN AND I STILL DROVE IT SLOWLY BACK HOME. SCAREY!!!!

You didn’t show how to disconnect the transmission line that’s Under the subframe

Hi Jihad. Sorry to hear about the damage. What your mechanic is quoting seems to be just about right. Chances are they plan on replacing the knuckle, lower control arm, wheel bearing, tie rod and shock on the damage side; as they often bend. You may be able to save a bit going used rather than new, but that's your call. The crossmember in my case was a used unit I purchased for $450 ,including the sway bar. One thing I was certainly worried about was the steering box. Fortunately there was no damage but that is something that may come up as the mechanic dives in to the job. In the short term, my advice to you is don't drive the vehicle. I quickly go over what happened to me in this video....kzread.info/dash/bejne/q6Sj2KSqpM2bedI.html ….but long story short, the subframe failed while I was doing a k-turn in front of my house and I had to get tow truck to literally move the car 30 or so feet. Feel free to email me at carsntoys@gmail.com if you have any other questions. Good luck!
