Hey guys im parting a vert s5. Someone is asking me for the Front subframe. I never removed a subframe so If i remove the subframe will the front tires collapse since i removed the subframe?
I told the guy i still need to be able to roll the car out of my property once im done parting out.

 

The wheels will collapse, yes. You will not be able to move the car on it's own wheels without the subframe. The front subframe supports the engine and the suspension control arms mount to it.

 

thanks for the reply. I figured it would collapse. I wonder if i do decide to sell the subframe. I could use jack stands to hold it up until I finish parting it out.
Think i could use a pallet jack to help get it on a tow truck?

 

I think you could put it on jack stands and be just fine. There is a reinforced area on the frame rails just as they meet the engine bay area. On the coupe at least. You may be able to put them there.

 

Thanks guys. Ill use some jack stands if i sell the front crossmember. Thinking ill fabricate a front hitch and use a heavy duty trailer dolly to help get it on the tow truck once im done parting it out. How much do front crossmembers go for now?
