I'm new to these cars and I'm wondering how hard and what is the process of replacing the front diff mount. Do i need to drop the Sub frame and disconnect my exhaust and drive shaft?

and thank you in advance.

I am going to be doing the same thing once my replacement diff mount arrives.

Bad a**!!! Thanks man

 

No prob! Good luck!

 

Ahh guy you should have asked me the other night. That writeup is decent, I found it easier to just drop the drivers side. Both diff bolts, drivers lowers strut bolt, sway endlinks, exhaust, possibly driveshaft, it's been a while since I've done one.. Problem with dropping the whole subframe is it can be a bitch to get the studs for the diff and subframe lined up. It's basically a 2 jack job if you lower the whole subframe. Anyways good luck.

 

well I have like 5 jacks so i think i can manage, thanks for your advice too

 

yeah it is a pain to get it back up if u drop the whole thing... hmm ill have to try the drop only the driver side down method next time i break something...

unfortinitly both times i thoguht i broke the mount, it ended up breaking the bracket off the subframe instead....
