nut on inside of subframe broke off
5th gen
What would you do? The nut on the inside (inaccessible) for the control arm broke off. I was considering replacing the subframe or cutting it so I may weld a new nut for the bolt. But I dunno if that's a good idea.
should be able to get subframe for 40-75$

Re: nut on inside of subframe broke off
75$ ain't bad for a good rear engine mount, fatter sway bar, and a new subframe with less rust
is there a way to fix this subframe tho? I'd like to have a spare

Re: nut on inside of subframe broke off
One of them broke loose on my sub frame. I drilled a hole under where the bolt should be and opened it up enough to get a wrench in to hold the nut and tightened the bolt as tight as I could then welded the nut back to the sub frame as much as I could. Then tightened the bolt some more. After that I welded in a filler piece and painted the exposed metal and welds.
