pitzel Posted March 2, 2015 Report Share Posted March 2, 2015 (edited) [video=youtube;kXGVM3jBGqU] Ouch! A W-body too! The failed part of the subframe is at 0:47 and 1:10 in the video, just forward of the rear bushing. Edited March 2, 2015 by pitzel Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
2001goldGTP Posted March 3, 2015 Report Share Posted March 3, 2015 ouch, i have just changed my subframe bushings and while i had it apart i sanded off the bit of rust hat was starting and painted it. The sad thing is mine is a California car and as never been to the snow. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
94 olds vert Posted March 3, 2015 Report Share Posted March 3, 2015 This happened to my old Gp. I had it welded up for a bit before replacing the frame. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Torque_Effect Posted March 9, 2015 Report Share Posted March 9, 2015 Well getting a look at the rear part of the front subframe from the top of the passenger side, it looks rust free on mine which is a relief. 208k in a salty state, rear strut towers are my only worry at the moment.

2001goldGTP Posted March 24, 2015 Report Share Posted March 24, 2015 My other subframe bushings are making noise now and i need to change them and i have already ordered. What i dont understand about this video is that they guy had no warning? mine arent even close to having a failure like that and they are creaking, moaning and popping. I would think one would have to ignore the signs for a very long time to cause this kind of failure. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
snippits Posted June 8, 2015 Report Share Posted June 8, 2015 With all that rust out, a leaking distributor o-ring would be a good thing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
