Used to change the whole subframe for a service exchange one from my parts supplier. Time ive pushed the bushes out and in it was more cost effective to swap it. Thanks again got 30 mins of armchair entertainment

Alan,👍👍! I still have My MK3 estate, 200k miles, it certainly needs a plenty of work beneath, both in back & in front too... Not easy to find somebody to do it...

Excellent video, thanks! I have a mk3 mondeo TDDI which required replacement of the rear bushes at about 70k miles - I used the better quality 'poly' bushes and the car now has 210k miles and there is still no noise from the rear subframe. Maybe most people who replaced their bushes many years ago used the better ones and they did not need replacing since?
@mikeberry3044 жыл бұрын
I normally purchase a remanufactured subframe that has already fitted with new bushes in it for not much dearer than the price of a set of bushes from E C P on an exchange basis , cheers Alan

Did mine on the car on axle stands. Do the o/s two first then the n/s. Like you I made up some screwed rod, washers and different size pipe fitting sockets. Mark the position of the frame before releasing the mounting bolts so as to get it back as near as pos. Ford use locating pins. I replaced the rubber bushes with poly, a lot quicker and easier, plus they will never wear out again. Not a nice job to do but saves you a bunch of money as against having a garage do it.

Damn Alan, the work you have just on all those camera angles, amazing job! Do you remember if the MK3's would sink the brake pedals with some pressure with the engine running? My X type has been in the garage for 1 month now because of that, new master cylinder and the brake booster is being adjusted correctly, also they just replaced the hydraulic part of the abs module with one from a Mondeo, hopefully they get the hang of it right now...

Is it possible the lattereal acc sensor throws a phantom code if the front subframe is misaligned on the MK3's? It started throwing the code after I changed the left control arm and track rod end. (The steering wheel is about 5deg off center ) I'm expecting to get the subframe alignment pins next week.

Should have polybushed them. You leave the outer metal sleeve in place, just remove the rubber and press in the polyurethane ones. Can be done easily without removing the subframe and takes about an hour per side. Also no need to leave the car on the ramp overnight whilst the glue dries. Paying someone to do it it cost me £200 all in.

@@alan4x not too sure, feels like a power drop. Sometimes it pulls well and then it'll drop down all of a sudden or do a bit of a judder. There's no warning codes or anything on the ECU no engine management lights or anything else either. Apart from that I need to replace the front bumper and undertray as they got cracked. Wobble in the steering even after the wheels have been balanced, brake pads and replacer of the switches on the steering wheen haha 😂 I've got plenty to keep me occupied during lockdown Edit* I also need to replace that wet belt as its a 1.8tdci and change the pulley on the alternator

My MoT guy told me my car was a write-off due to this fault!! He said the job wasn’t worth doing on 2002 car. I believed him until I watched your video. Now I know that he lied to me, and I could even do the job myself. This is a great example of two things: First of all, I found your clowning around at the beginning very annoying and nearly didn’t bother watching. But I persevered and you ended up providing me with some excellent and extremely valuable information; Secondly, if it wasn’t for the utter insanity of the totally pointless and criminal lockdowns, you almost certainly wouldn’t have made this video. So every cloud has a silver lining. Finally, even though I’m in Derby which is 88 miles and 1 hour 40 minutes away, I’m seriously considering asking you to quote on the job and do my MoT next year. I will without doubt recommend your channel to everyone I know, and hope it brings some good tidings your way. Thank you again for sharing this valuable advice. Peace

kiwitrains - All of the deaths are being created by changing the reasons that people are dying from what they are really dying of to this fake virus - go watch the UK Column INDEPENDENT news videos on here that expose this and how there are NOT any more people dying this year compared to previous years as per the governments own figures. Also the VIROLOGIST Dr Stefan Lanka proved in the German Supreme Court in 2017 that viruses do NOT exist so how can there them be a pandemic and funny how that mainstream media are not reporting on any of that. Wonder why lots of this doctors videos have been banned off of KZbin and social media etc - maybe the fact that he is totally exposing this FAKE virus as well kzbin.info/www/bejne/Z4TLn4OwrKufaLM
