Absolutely love your style of straight forward video presentation. 👍 Do you have suggestion on where to purchase new front subframe? I've turned up some used ones on ebay but apprehensive about issues of rust or being bent like mine is. Thanks
I’m about to do this myself. Part is $355.00 The mechanic shop wanted $1,200 and was charging 5 hrs labor. I done replaced the struts (complete assembly kit) lower control arms, sway bar bushings, outer tie rods and sway bar links. Still had a clunking sound after all that was replaced. Took it to 4 different mechanics and they all couldn’t find a problem. This last mechanic said he was 75% sure this was the problem (sub frame). I think I can do this job in 2 hrs since I’m very familiar with the front end suspension. I’ll update once parts come in but in the meantime, is there something I’m missing that I can look at while I’m doing this job? If it doesn’t solve the problem I’m going to go crazy!!!
I feel like this looks easier than it is…😂 looks like I might need to give it a try though, my 07 Azera has some clunking that won’t go away, and I think I need to drop the subframe to get to the sway bar bushings…might just replace some other things while I’m at it.
This is very helpful for a job I'm coming up on doing on my hyundai sonata, however mine is a 2005. Is there much difference I'm going to run into while doing this removal/replacement?
Is is essentially the same for a 2017 Hyundai Elantra? Or are there major key differences I need to look out for. Like the motor not being supported by the trans mount in my model lol. Thanks in advance! Super helpful video
I have a 2011 sonota the subframe bushings are shot I can’t find subframe bushings for it anywere did the new subframe come with bushings and if so we’re did u get it from are the bushings serviceable alone or does the whole subframe need to be replaced

None of those bolts have a TORQUE SPEC?

Maybe I missed it in the video, but what is keeping the engine and transmission from falling out once the subframe is removed?
What's up Tommy the motor mount and Trans mount are supporting the engine
Great video, must not be from the north, zero rust seen on anything, isn't there any power steering lines to disconnect???
@kenrusso9759 haha no I'm from California..there's no power steering lines on this rack boss..

Good luck I just put my 05 sonata in the shop to have mine replaced
@@TMANEPP I have been struggling to find a place that would do it!
Hi Cora it should have similar parts to remove is yours the 2.7 or 2.4
Mines 2005 2.7 v6.@@luckysdiygarage
What was the reason for the change of frame???
Hi the subframe was pinched due to an accident
