Subframe Drop

[Daverb]

I have removed my wishbones. (Fitting powerflex bushes) Disconnected arb each side.

Next step is to go about dropping the subframe.

Just wondering what to do with the steering rack. Do I start dropping the subframe then i will be able to get to the bolts holding on the steering rack and leave it all hanging there. Do I need to disconect the pinch bolt inside the car or not?

Thanks.

You need to be very very careful. leave rack connected to column unless you have to remove it.

Ok will do.

How does the steering rack connect to the subframe? Is there a bolt each side?

Yep 2 bolts. They're the 2 nuts with retainers underneath.
You can lower the subframe enough to get them undone. Then leave it up out the way
