ok.... first of all i have searched the archives and googled everything i can think of! i hit a curb almost 5yrs ago and my 7 hasnt been on the road since. i recently purchased the front subframe which is why my car has been garaged but after removing all visible bolts i still cant budge it. is it tack welded or are there hidden bolts that im not seeing? any info would be greatly appreciated!

 

There are only 4 bolts that hold the subframe on. Whack it with a hammer or pry between the subframe and frame.

To drop the whole front end there is only 4 bolts on top of each strut, 4 on the subframe, 4 on the swaybar mounts and the two brake lines. Then the steering column splined shaft and if you have power steering those hoses.

 

thanx! i will try in the morning....
