I ripped the rear sub frame I did a good job. I just went to Bat Inc sight and was going to order the rear sub frame. I was wondering if you guys had any cheaper ideas for fixing this also If you think the parts worth the money . Sorry itâ�?��?�s been so long since I have posted but I am still a live and kicking.

I was planning on just welding and reinforcing (boxing in) the subframe. I have an friend who can weld, and he might do it for me. The only problem is he cant weld aluminum. Does anybody know what metal the subframe is made out of? Originally posted by Who the F are You?: does your family tree not have any branches on it? 99SVT 235hp @ 6550rpm 212tq @ 5350rpm

There is no way a Contour's subframe is made of aluminum. Your friend will be able to weld it. MUST SELL - ECM computer new for a 98 V6 mtx + pats Now trolling in a Red Nissan 4 x 4
