Alright well for some reason the long bolt holding the front LCA's on through the sub frame are def stripped out. I think there is a welded on nut that you cant see or get to, but it might have broken off! Anyway basically i need to replace the sub frame! Is it possible? and if so how hard because i dont have the best of tools or work environment so! any help appreciated thanks!

I just had the sub-frame to my Si replaced. I think that it wasn't too difficult, but having a lift is really helpful to the project. Otherwise, my car feel great now. The u-joint in the steering column of my old setup was really tired and loose.

what was the cost to have it replaced?

If the motors in the car ill give it a 7 out of 10 if the motors out of the car ill give it a 6 out of 10. Its not hard as much as time consuming and having to break really hard bolts loose.

Why not cut a grove under the nut and replace it? Much easier then replacing the subframe.

A tech at the dealership did it for me afterhours... I paid him $150 which included an alignment.
