Rear Subframe mountings wanted

Post by BrianK » 20 Apr 2012

Just to make things more complicated, I am talking about 4x4 rear subframe mountings. Mine have parted company with each other and nobody official has any. I now have to plan all my journeys to avoid humpback bridges. If anyone can help I would be eternally grateful, especially since the rest of the car is going so well at the moment.

Hi Brian, for my benefit, can you describe them?

If memory serves, they are the same as XM bushes, although I seem to recall they are XM front subframe bushes? I think.. Either way, they are the same as some bush on an XM and are available, or were.. erm, thats not much help is it!

...and I was going to say that sounds like married life :(

I'm pretty sure there was a thread on BXC about the 4x4 bushes a few years ago, which may give the XM equivalent.
