Typically, when winter comes, a big car job comes my way. The colder the better, right?
If you remember my past threads, you'll know my rear subframe is toast in two places. It may pass inspection right now, it may not. I haven't taken it in yet. Right now, I'm tempted to just replace it now and be done with it, while improving peace of mind and safety as well.
What kind of a job is this, and is there a step-by-step guide anywhere for it? Seems like the driveshaft and diff come down, struts, axles.... everything. Do I mess with the fuel system or EVAP lines at all? (Would rather not)
Are there any tricks that can speed up the process? What can I leave on, and save some time by doing so?
I know there are a few members on here that dismantle Subarus as well. I would definitely consider purchasing a used one from a member if available. Seems like shipping is under $100, roughly.
Thanks!
