1994 Ford Probe Gt

[Havemrcy]

my buddy snapped a subframe bolt on his speed6 a few months back. must be a mazda/ford thing lol

Lol definitely is! When I replaced the control arms and sway bar links in the front one of the control arm bolts to the frame snapped right in half smh.

I took the rear subframe to a machine shop to see what they can do. They told me it was rusted so bad the bolts would just snap in half and it wouldn't be cost effective for me sigh.

I don't know what to do now. I would attempt myself like I said I would but I really don't know what I'm doing nor do I want to make it worse.

I'm still waiting on my parts to get here :/. Awr is waiting for my sway bar to come back from powder coating and Darren at king6 is now making my adapters after a few measurements from me for my Megan links.

While I'm waiting on them I might as well start putting the coils and brake parts on the front. Crossing my fingers hoping nothing snaps off.

when I removed my rear subframe, one of the nuts that is welded inside the frame rail broke free and was spinning inside the rail. I ended up scrapping all the under coating off, cutting the frame rail open, fixing it all and then welding and re undercoating

One of the gurus himself with the low probe game. You and Shaun builds are my inspiration for this.

If I honestly could weld that wouldn't be a problem but unfortunately I can't and don't know how to weld so I have to do this another way if possible.

[Havemrcy]

Now is it just me or does this bolt look welded in there?


I've been at this for two days and no progress whatsoever! I've heated it up and took an impact to it and nothing. Seriously just about to buy new hubs and subframe.

Good note I got my awr sway bar and my sway bar adapters and hei mod harness is on the way.

You will never get it out, you need to cut and drill it out. The middle part of the bolt is exposed to the elements and rusts badly. you need to cut or drill the middle length of the bolt out and then drill the remaining parts out at each end so you are left with a good hub.

Id just get a different sub frame. Marshalls in Circleville should have a few for cheap.
