R50/53 Dropping subframe what else?
Dropping subframe what else?
I have to drop the subframe on my R53.
I’m replacing the:
Inner ball joints
Outer ball joints
Control arm bushings (Powerflex)
Steering rack bush (Powerflex)
Swaybar bushings (Powerflex)
Both return and feed hoses for the power steering
The lower small bushing for the motor mount (Powerflex)
Is there anything else I should change while I’m in there?
The oil pan gasket, crank sensor oring, oil filter housing/cooler seals/o-rings were replaced this summer and it’s currently dry as a bone with the exception of my seepy weepy power steering lines.
I want to get any other adventures out of the way so I can have a full summer of motoring ahead of me.
